Bath repair near Gwbert

Bath repair at your home in Gwbert

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Gwbert

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Gwbert. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What affects the price in Gwbert

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in Gwbert

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

You do not 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we’re called out for in Gwbert

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
