When to call us in Gwernesney

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Gwernesney

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Gwernesney questions

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does bath repair cost in Gwernesney?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

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

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself 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. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Landlord and trade work in Gwernesney

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Gwernesney, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
