FAQs for Tyddyn gwyn

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do I have to be there?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

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.

Honest limits

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

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

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

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tyddyn gwyn

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we’re called out for in Tyddyn gwyn

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tyddyn gwyn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Tyddyn gwyn clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
