Do you need bath repair in Rhydypennau?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for any of the following:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price

Bath repair in Rhydypennau without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rhydypennau and across Ceredigion.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Rhydypennau, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Rhydypennau, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Common questions in Rhydypennau
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you come to Rhydypennau?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Rhydypennau from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in Rhydypennau
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
