How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Tynewydd: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you come to Tynewydd?

We do. We send a technician to Tynewydd for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

What bath repair costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Tynewydd

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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