How we handle bath repair in Oystermouth

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What affects the price in Oystermouth

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Oystermouth. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Oystermouth

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
