What we’re called out for in Pant-y-graig-wen

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Pant-y-graig-wen

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
