About our bath repair in Nantyglo

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Blaenau Gwent.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What bath repair costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NP23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath repair in Nantyglo

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need bath repair in Nantyglo?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
