Bath repair in Pwll-glâs, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Pwll-glâs: your questions answered

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you come to Pwll-glâs?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Pwll-glâs from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Honest limits

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

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we’re called out for in Pwll-glâs

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips caused by builders

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Pwll-glâs. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Pwll-glâs get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
