DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Tŷ-llwyn
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Tŷ-llwyn?
We do. We send a technician to Tŷ-llwyn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tŷ-llwyn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
