Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Llanvihangel Pontymoel. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Llanvihangel Pontymoel

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are there extra charges for Llanvihangel Pontymoel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

How much does bath repair cost in Llanvihangel Pontymoel?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

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

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanvihangel Pontymoel as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
