Questions from Caer-went

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you cover the whole of Monmouthshire?

The entire UK, including all of Monmouthshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What we are called out for in Caer-went

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Caer-went

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

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.
