About our bath repair in Crofty

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  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. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crofty use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Crofty

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Crofty

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common problems we fix in Crofty

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
