Common questions in Pentrebane
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How we handle bath repair in Pentrebane
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common problems we fix in Pentrebane
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Pentrebane, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
