Pencarreg questions

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

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.

Bath repair in Pencarreg without replacing anything

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit.

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Common problems we fix in Pencarreg

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

How to compare quotes

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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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, which makes it well worth repairing.

What affects the price in Pencarreg

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Pencarreg

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pencarreg. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pencarreg

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pencarreg as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Pencarreg, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

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