Felindre questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Carmarthenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Bath repair in Felindre without replacing anything

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and damage beneath the taps, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Felindre and across Carmarthenshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  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, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Should you replace it?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Felindre. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
