Landlords, agents and businesses in Bistre
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our bath repair in Bistre
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
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.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bistre. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Bistre: your questions answered
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the entire of Flintshire?
All of Flintshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you work in Bistre?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bistre from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
