How we handle bath repair in Penyrheolgerrig
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Penyrheolgerrig
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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 we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Penyrheolgerrig
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Penyrheolgerrig
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the whole of Merthyr Tydfil?
Across the UK, so Penyrheolgerrig is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the entire UK

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

What we are called out for in Penyrheolgerrig
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
