Aber Valley questions

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you come to Aber Valley?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Aber Valley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we’re called out for in Aber Valley

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Aber Valley

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Aber Valley. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
