Bath repair for Ddol homes

Bath repair in Ddol without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ddol as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need bath repair in Ddol?

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ddol. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add 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.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Questions from Ddol

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ddol included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you cover Ddol?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ddol from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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, normally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
