Bath Repair in Castle-upon-Alun

- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Bath repair in Castle-upon-Alun without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Castle-upon-Alun
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you come to Castle-upon-Alun?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Castle-upon-Alun from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
When to call us in Castle-upon-Alun
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Castle-upon-Alun
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, 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.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
