Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wernffrwd. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wernffrwd, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Wernffrwd questions

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Signs you need bath repair in Wernffrwd

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chip where the taps sit

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
