Bath Repair for Pentre Poeth homes
Bath repair in Pentre Poeth without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Bath repair in Pentre Poeth, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and damage beneath the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
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 bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

When to call us in Pentre Poeth
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, 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.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
