Bath repair at your home in Brynbryddan

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Brynbryddan

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

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. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Brynbryddan. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Brynbryddan, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

FAQs for Brynbryddan

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?
