What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Arddleen

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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 a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Arddleen

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Arddleen

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do you work in Arddleen?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Arddleen and the rest of Powys. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
