Bath repair in Pentirvin

Bath repair in Pentirvin without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pentirvin

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Pentirvin

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Pentirvin get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
