Bath repair in Pentre, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Pentre and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Pentre questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Pentre, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Do not 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.
