Bath repair near Ceredigion

What we are called out for in Ceredigion

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

About our bath repair in Ceredigion

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ceredigion. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath repair in Ceredigion

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When can you do it?

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

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
