About our bath repair in Penllwyn
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and a chipped rim or side.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What else we do in Penllwyn
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Penllwyn
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penllwyn
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Penllwyn
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
