About our bath repair in New Radnor

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can usually put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in New Radnor

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from New Radnor

Do the materials smell?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover the entire of Powys?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including New Radnor. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
