Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Tonmawr clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 normally cheaper.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tonmawr. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

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

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

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

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

FAQs for Tonmawr

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Neath Port Talbot, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
