Trusted bath repair in Tre'r-ddol

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we handle bath repair in Tre'r-ddol

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Tre'r-ddol

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Tre'r-ddol

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Tre'r-ddol questions

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How much does bath repair cost in Tre'r-ddol?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
