What we’re called out for in Kymin

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Bath repair in Kymin, done in place

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Questions from Kymin

Do you cover Kymin?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kymin for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you cover the whole of Monmouthshire?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Kymin

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kymin, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
