Bath repair in Cae'r Lan

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How we handle bath repair in Cae'r Lan

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cae'r Lan. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Cae'r Lan customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Cae'r Lan

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Cae'r Lan included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
