About our bath repair in Garreg

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Garreg

  • Cast iron enamel

How we price bath repair

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How to compare quotes

Garreg questions

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Do you work in Garreg?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Garreg from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
