About our bath repair in Bedlinog

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Bedlinog and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel

Bedlinog: your questions answered

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Do you work in Bedlinog?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bedlinog and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Merthyr Tydfil.

Are there extra charges for Bedlinog?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Bedlinog?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Choosing a repair company

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

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

Repair or replace in Bedlinog?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
