Landlord and trade work in Ffos-y-ffîn

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Ceredigion and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Ffos-y-ffîn

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

FAQs for Ffos-y-ffîn

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Ceredigion.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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