Trusted bath repair in Penygarn

Bath repair at your home in Penygarn

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Penygarn

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

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.

What affects the price in Penygarn

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Penygarn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
