Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penrhiwceiber use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Penrhiwceiber questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you work in Penrhiwceiber?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Penrhiwceiber for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Penrhiwceiber?

Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Penrhiwceiber. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
