Bath repair near Colwinston

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colwinston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bath repair at your home in Colwinston

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and a chipped rim or side, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How the visit 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. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Colwinston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Colwinston

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath repair in Colwinston

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Colwinston

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
