Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Craig-y-Don

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover Craig-y-Don?

We do. We send a technician to Craig-y-Don for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Craig-y-Don

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

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

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Craig-y-Don

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

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
