Common questions in Glenboi

Do you work in Glenboi?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Glenboi. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What information do you need?

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

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Bath repair in Glenboi without replacing anything

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. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Glenboi and across Rhondda Cynon Taff.

What we’re called out for in Glenboi

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glenboi use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Glenboi clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.
