Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

FAQs for Penrhys
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work in Penrhys?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Penrhys for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Penrhys included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace in Penrhys?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Penrhys
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Penrhys, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Penrhys
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Most customers in Penrhys get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
