When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

What we work on

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

Bath repair in Penygraig without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penygraig use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Carmarthenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for Penygraig

Are there extra charges for Penygraig?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What affects the price in Penygraig

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

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath repair in Penygraig?

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
