Bath repair near Maes Maelor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath repair in Maes Maelor without replacing anything

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When to call us in Maes Maelor

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common questions in Maes Maelor

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you work in Maes Maelor?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Maes Maelor and the rest of Wrexham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

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.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
