How we handle bath repair in Felindre

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Felindre

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A chip where the taps sit

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Felindre. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often 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.

What affects the price in Felindre

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
