  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

How we handle bath repair in Pentre Ffwrndan

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, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pentre Ffwrndan as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pentre Ffwrndan. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
