Bath repair near Port Tennant

Bath repair in Port Tennant without replacing anything

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and damage beneath the taps, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Port Tennant

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Port Tennant

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 usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

FAQs for Port Tennant

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Port Tennant and the rest of Swansea. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

How much does bath repair cost in Port Tennant?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of 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 normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Do you need bath repair in Port Tennant?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
