Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Do not 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.

Honest limits

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

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Tregaron

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Ceredigion.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

What we’re called out for in Tregaron

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Common reasons people in Tregaron contact us are:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tregaron. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
