Bath repair in Portfield Gate, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need bath repair in Portfield Gate

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Portfield Gate

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Portfield Gate questions

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you work in Portfield Gate?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Portfield Gate and the rest of Pembrokeshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

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

Materials we work on in Portfield Gate

  • Acrylic

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Portfield Gate. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Portfield Gate, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
