About our bath repair in Penygloddfa
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. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Penygloddfa questions
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

When to call us in Penygloddfa
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
