Trusted bath repair in Trecynon

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Bath repair in Trecynon without replacing anything

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trecynon

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Trecynon: your questions answered

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Trecynon?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Trecynon and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

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

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Trecynon

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
