When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ystradyfodwg. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ystradyfodwg, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

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

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
