Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Crwbin. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath repair in Crwbin without replacing anything

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Crwbin

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

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