A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

About our bath repair in Felin-Gerrig

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Felin-Gerrig and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Felin-Gerrig

Do I have to be there?

How do I get a price for bath repair in Felin-Gerrig?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Felin-Gerrig. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Felin-Gerrig, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
