FAQs for Aberuthven
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Bath repair in Aberuthven, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Aberuthven as everywhere else we work.

Repairing versus replacing in Aberuthven
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. 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.

What your bath is made of matters
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 what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What affects the price in Aberuthven
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add 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.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
