What affects the price in Craig-y-Rhacca
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Signs you need bath repair in Craig-y-Rhacca
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Common questions in Craig-y-Rhacca
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you come to Craig-y-Rhacca?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Craig-y-Rhacca from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
