Bath repair in Cefn Mawr

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Bath repair in Cefn Mawr, done in place

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Cefn Mawr

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Cefn Mawr

If you manage property in Cefn Mawr, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
