Trusted bath repair in Killay

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How we handle bath repair in Killay

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

If you’re in Killay and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Killay

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Killay as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Killay

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
