FAQs for Sandfields

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover the whole of Swansea?

The whole UK, including all of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Swansea.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are there extra charges for Sandfields?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Bath repair in Sandfields, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Sandfields

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust spots around the plughole

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

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 clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What affects the price in Sandfields

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sandfields. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Sandfields, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Sandfields

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
