Landlord and trade work in Blaenau Ffestiniog

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blaenau Ffestiniog as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Common questions in Blaenau Ffestiniog

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

How much does bath repair cost in Blaenau Ffestiniog?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

When can you do it?

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

Do you come to Blaenau Ffestiniog?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Blaenau Ffestiniog. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Blaenau Ffestiniog, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

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

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Blaenau Ffestiniog

  • Pressed steel enamel

What we’re called out for in Blaenau Ffestiniog

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
