Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Bath repair at your home in Wernbwll

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and impact holes in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wernbwll as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Wernbwll

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Wernbwll. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Wernbwll: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. 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.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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.
