Bath repair in Llanarth

Repairing versus replacing in Llanarth

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

How we handle bath repair in Llanarth

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a kit repair that didn’t last and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Llanarth

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover Llanarth?

We do. We send a technician to Llanarth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llanarth

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanarth as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Llanarth

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair
