Bath repair in Abernant without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and a cracked acrylic bath.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rhondda Cynon Taff.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Common problems we fix in Abernant

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Common reasons people in Abernant contact us are:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Abernant: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will there be a smell?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Abernant is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Abernant. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Abernant

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What your bath is made of matters

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 is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

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

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
