Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing or bath cost comparison.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Groes-faen

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Groes-faen

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CF72 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not 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 photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

FAQs for Groes-faen

How do I get a price for bath repair in Groes-faen?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
