About our bath repair in Gwernyfed

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Gwernyfed questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work in Gwernyfed?

We do. We send a technician to Gwernyfed for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Gwernyfed. Prices do not change with location.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gwernyfed. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gwernyfed

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
