Trusted bath repair in Rhos Haminiog

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Bath repair at your home in Rhos Haminiog

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can generally put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

FAQs for Rhos Haminiog

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Rhos Haminiog. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
