Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repair or replace in Corlannau?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Corlannau. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Do you need bath repair in Corlannau?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day

FAQs for Corlannau

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
