Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Middleton. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Middleton

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • 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

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

Questions from Middleton

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Swansea, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
