Questions from Foel

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Do you cover Foel?

We do. We send a technician to Foel for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Bath repair at your home in Foel

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and impact holes in acrylic, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Foel and across Powys.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Foel

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

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

Landlord and trade work in Foel

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foel as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Repair or replace in Foel?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Foel

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Foel. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Foel

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust spots around the plughole
