How we handle bath repair in Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We are often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and snagging damage from a refit, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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 relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Common questions in Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain

Do you cover Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

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

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
