Bath repair in Penybont without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Penybont
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Penybont questions
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you cover the whole of Powys?
All of Powys, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Penybont get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
