About our bath repair in Llanbadarn Fawr
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Llanbadarn Fawr
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What we are called out for in Llanbadarn Fawr
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Repair or replace in Llanbadarn Fawr?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Llanbadarn Fawr. The price depends on:
