Need bath repair in Corwen?

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

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

How we handle bath repair in Corwen

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rusty patches near the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

What we work on

Repair or replace in Corwen?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Corwen, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath repair in Corwen

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A chip where the taps sit

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
