Penegoes: your questions answered
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penegoes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Penegoes
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace in Penegoes?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
