Your questions about bath repair in Glanaman
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you cover Glanaman?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Glanaman. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Bath repair in Glanaman without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Glanaman and across Carmarthenshire.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlord and trade work in Glanaman
If you manage property in Glanaman, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Signs you need bath repair in Glanaman
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Look out for any of the following:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Repairing versus replacing in Glanaman
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Glanaman
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
