Bath repair for Brynrefail homes

Bath repair in Brynrefail without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When to call us in Brynrefail

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A chipped rim or side

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Brynrefail

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Brynrefail. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Brynrefail

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
