How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

About our bath repair in Llanaber

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

Signs you need bath repair in Llanaber

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

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

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

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

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.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llanaber. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

FAQs for Llanaber

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Llanaber is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Llanaber, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
