Trusted bath repair in Kenfig Hill

When to call us in Kenfig Hill

Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Kenfig Hill: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Bridgend?

Everywhere in the UK, Kenfig Hill included. There is no extra charge for travel.

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.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you come to Kenfig Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Kenfig Hill and the rest of Bridgend. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Bridgend.

Work for landlords and builders

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

If you manage property in Kenfig Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

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 what we repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What affects the price in Kenfig Hill

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
