How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Llantwit Fardre. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Llantwit Fardre. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Llantwit Fardre and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Llantwit Fardre questions

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

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.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Llantwit Fardre is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
