Book bath repair in Llangattock Nigh Usk

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When to call us in Llangattock Nigh Usk

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Llangattock Nigh Usk

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.

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

Do I have to be there?

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
