For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.

  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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

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. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Choosing a repair company

Aberdare East questions

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Aberdare East. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
