What a repair can’t fix

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Bath repair in Bettws, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- 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, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repairing versus replacing in Bettws

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bettws. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What affects the price in Bettws
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bettws. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Bettws and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common problems we fix in Bettws
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Look out for these signs:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
Landlord and trade work in Bettws
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common questions in Bettws
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
