How we handle bath repair in Cwmbrân

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips along the edge of the bath.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Repair or replace in Cwmbrân?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Cwmbrân

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Are there extra charges for Cwmbrân?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath repair in Cwmbrân

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for these signs:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cwmbrân

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
