About our bath repair in Pentre-bâch
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We’re often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pentre-bâch as everywhere else we work.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Pentre-bâch, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What your bath is made of matters
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 frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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 following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
