Repair or replace in Bridgend?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Materials we work on in Bridgend

  • Cast iron enamel

What we’re called out for in Bridgend

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Bridgend

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Are there extra charges for Bridgend?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Ceredigion and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
