How we handle bath repair in Pwll-y-pant

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Pwll-y-pant

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do you cover the entire of Caerphilly?

We cover the entire UK, including Pwll-y-pant and the rest of Caerphilly. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

What bath repair costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pwll-y-pant

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need bath repair in Pwll-y-pant

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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.
