Bath repair in Treboeth

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour 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.

Bath repair at your home in Treboeth

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Treboeth. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Treboeth, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
