Bath repair at your home in Perthcelyn

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Perthcelyn

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you come to Perthcelyn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Perthcelyn. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Perthcelyn?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Perthcelyn

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Perthcelyn, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

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

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
