Questions from Craig-y-penrhyn

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are there extra charges for Craig-y-penrhyn?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Bath repair at your home in Craig-y-penrhyn

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What affects the price in Craig-y-penrhyn

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

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

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

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’s the part we put right.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
