Questions from Glynllan
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Glynllan?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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 you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Bath repair in Glynllan, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace in Glynllan?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What else we do in Glynllan
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

What we are called out for in Glynllan
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Glynllan. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
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.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
