How we handle bath repair in Acrefair

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wrexham.

What affects the price in Acrefair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Acrefair. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you are in Acrefair and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace in Acrefair?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book

When to call us in Acrefair

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlord and trade work in Acrefair

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

FAQs for Acrefair

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you come to Acrefair?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Acrefair for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Acrefair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
