Our bath repair service in CF48

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, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered 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.

We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Around Cyfarthfa

Typical jobs here are in homes near Six Bells pub, Gelli-Deg Independent Chapel and Vaynor and Penderyn High School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Merthyr Tydfil station, roughly 1.1 miles south-east of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Cyfarthfa Castle Museum & Art Gallery (0.6 miles north-east) and Morlais Castle (2 miles north-east). Open spaces near Cyfarthfa include Mynydd Aberdar and Pwll Waun Cynon.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Rinse it down after each bath
Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we are called out for in CF48

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Snagging damage from a refit
A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
A chipped rim or side

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Merthyr Tydfil and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Questions from CF48

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath repair in CF48?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
