Common questions in Caerphilly

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How soon can you come?

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

How much does bath repair cost in Caerphilly?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you come to Caerphilly?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Caerphilly and the rest of Caerphilly. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Caerphilly. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Caerphilly. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Signs you need bath repair in Caerphilly

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures 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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
