Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llanbadarn Fawr. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Other services in Llanbadarn Fawr
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanbadarn Fawr as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Llanbadarn Fawr
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 and a photo of the whole item with your SY23 postcode.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
