Repairing versus replacing in Nansledan

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nansledan as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Nansledan

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover Nansledan?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Nansledan. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

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

Are there extra charges for Nansledan?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

What bath repair costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
