Bath repair across SA5: what to expect

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

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.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for SA5. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Near you in Brynhyfryd

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Siloh Welsh Congregational Chapel, Cwm Level Park and Manselton Hotel. Nearby too are Pentrehafod School (0.7 miles south-east) and Brynhyfryd Primary School (less than half a mile east). The closest station to Brynhyfryd is Swansea station, roughly 1.3 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Mount Pleasant Hospital (1.3 miles south) and Quadrant Shopping Centre (1.8 miles south). For a walk, there is Cnap-llwyd and Pluck Lake.

Common problems we fix in SA5

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

Scuffs and scratches in the surface
A chip where the taps sit
Chips along the edge of the bath
Rusty patches near the plughole

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in SA5

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in SA5, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Have new chips seen to early
Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Common questions in SA5

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover SA5?

We do. We send a technician to SA5 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
