Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Ruthin questions

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.

How much does bath repair cost in Ruthin?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work in Ruthin?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ruthin for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Landlord and trade work in Ruthin

If you manage property in Ruthin, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Ruthin

Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Ruthin

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
