For landlords and businesses

Bath repair at your home in Overmonnow
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Overmonnow
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Overmonnow
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What affects the price in Overmonnow
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Overmonnow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Overmonnow and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
