About our bath repair in Pistyll

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and a chipped rim or side, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pistyll and across Gwynedd.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Your questions about bath repair in Pistyll

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Pistyll.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What affects the price in Pistyll

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Pistyll

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Signs you need bath repair in Pistyll

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
