Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Pitcot

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

  • Work done at your home or business

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pitcot

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What affects the price in Pitcot

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Pitcot: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do you cover Pitcot?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Pitcot and the rest of Bridgend. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

When to call us in Pitcot

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
