Landlords, agents and businesses in Hirwaun
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hirwaun as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How we handle bath repair in Hirwaun
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What affects the price in Hirwaun
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we are called out for in Hirwaun
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

Common questions in Hirwaun
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.
