Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

About our bath repair in Maesgeirchen

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Maesgeirchen

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Maesgeirchen. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Questions from Maesgeirchen

Do you cover Maesgeirchen?

We do. Technicians travel to Maesgeirchen from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

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

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
