Bath repair in Fairbourne

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

About our bath repair in Fairbourne

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. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Fairbourne

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairbourne use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

Your questions about bath repair in Fairbourne

What do you need from me?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Fairbourne.

Are there extra charges for Fairbourne?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Gwynedd, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
