Trusted bath repair in Burry Port

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burry Port as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

About our bath repair in Burry Port

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Burry Port

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Burry Port

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repair or replace in Burry Port?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Burry Port customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Burry Port

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
