Bath repair at your home in CF39

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We are often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. 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.

What you will pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How to get a price

How the damage happens

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What affects the price in CF39

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to CF39. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairing versus replacing

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. 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.

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
