When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Materials we work on in Dyffryn Cennen

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Dyffryn Cennen

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about bath repair in Dyffryn Cennen

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How invisible is a bath repair?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dyffryn Cennen, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dyffryn Cennen

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
