Bath repair in Glan-llyn

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

How we handle bath repair in Glan-llyn

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips along the edge of the bath and holes from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Glan-llyn and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Glan-llyn

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

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

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

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 is what we repair.

Common problems we fix in Glan-llyn

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Common reasons people in Glan-llyn contact us include:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Glan-llyn: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Cardiff. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Glan-llyn?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
