Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Common questions in Upper Bangor

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

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.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you work in Upper Bangor?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Upper Bangor. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What affects the price in Upper Bangor

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Upper Bangor. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Upper Bangor, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There’s 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upper Bangor. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Most jobs done in one visit

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Upper Bangor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When to call us in Upper Bangor

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

Surfaces we repair

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