What affects the price in Brynglas

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brynglas

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Brynglas?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Brynglas questions

Do you work in Brynglas?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Brynglas. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Newport.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
