For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cefn-coed-y-cymmer use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Bath repair in Cefn-coed-y-cymmer without replacing anything

We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and snagging damage from a refit.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Common problems we fix in Cefn-coed-y-cymmer

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Common reasons people in Cefn-coed-y-cymmer contact us include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chipped rim or side

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Cefn-coed-y-cymmer

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Cefn-coed-y-cymmer

Cefn-coed-y-cymmer questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the whole of Merthyr Tydfil?

We cover the whole UK, including Cefn-coed-y-cymmer and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How much does bath repair cost in Cefn-coed-y-cymmer?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CF48 postcode.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
