Bath repair for Ffynnon Taf homes

Bath repair in Ffynnon Taf without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and damage beneath the taps, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ffynnon Taf

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Ffynnon Taf, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
