Bath repair near Clydach Vale

How we handle bath repair in Clydach Vale

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Clydach Vale

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

Common reasons people in Clydach Vale contact us are:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Clydach Vale. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Clydach Vale, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Should you replace it?

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. 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.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
