Bath repair at your home in CF3

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Local landmarks in St Mellons

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to The Willows pub, Bishop Childs C.I.W. Primary School and Eastern High School. You will also find Bethania (0.5 miles south-west) and St Mellon's Church (within half a mile west). The nearest railway station is Llanishen station, about 3.4 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Caer Castell (0.9 miles south-west) and Cardiff Royal Infirmary (3.8 miles south-west). Open spaces near St Mellons include The Mount and Roath Park Lake.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we are called out for in CF3

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

Common reasons people in CF3 contact us include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chipped rim or side

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Repair or replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
