Bath repair in Penycwm without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When to call us in Penycwm

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Penycwm. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Penycwm, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Penycwm: your questions answered

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover the whole of Pembrokeshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Penycwm included. Travel is included in the price.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Penycwm?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
