Bath repair near Old Colwyn

Bath repair in Old Colwyn without replacing anything

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Common problems we fix in Old Colwyn

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

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

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Materials we work on in Old Colwyn

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Old Colwyn questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
