Bath repair in Aberclydach, done in place

Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 usually the cheaper route.

Your questions about bath repair in Aberclydach
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
