What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Blaengarw questions

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you come to Blaengarw?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Blaengarw. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

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.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Repairing versus replacing in Blaengarw

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
