Honest limits

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

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tal-sarn use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Tal-sarn

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
