Bath repair at your home in CF41

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items.

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Landmarks near Rhondda

We visit homes around Ton Pentre Infants School, Hebron Welsh Baptist Chapel and Ferndale Community School, among other places. Rhondda has its own railway station: Ton Pentre station. Nearby you’ll also find Moel Garn (4.5 miles south-west) and Llwynypia Hospital (1.6 miles south-east). The countryside around Rhondda includes Ferndale Lake and Mynydd y Gelli.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in CF41 use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to CF41. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in CF41

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

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.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
