About our bath repair in Rhymney

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 sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common problems we fix in Rhymney

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips caused by builders

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon 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 pictures 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. 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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Rhymney

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

Do you come to Rhymney?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Rhymney. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rhymney, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

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

Repairs by material

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 the part we put right.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Rhymney

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rhymney. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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