Bath repair in Pentre without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Everything repaired in place

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently 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.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pentre. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:

- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we’re called out for in Pentre
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Pentre
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
