Bath repair for Pentre Dwr homes

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

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

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Bath repair at your home in Pentre Dwr

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Pentre Dwr: your questions answered

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you come to Pentre Dwr?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Pentre Dwr. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Pentre Dwr?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Repair or replace in Pentre Dwr?

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. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Pentre Dwr

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Pentre Dwr

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
