About our bath repair in Hafodyrynys

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hafodyrynys

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

When to call us in Hafodyrynys

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

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

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

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 without abrasive products.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Hafodyrynys questions

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you work in Hafodyrynys?

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

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
