Repair or replace in Waunarlwydd?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Do you need bath repair in Waunarlwydd?

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips under the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

FAQs for Waunarlwydd

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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, then guarantee it for a year.
