Bath chip & crack repair in Llanbedr, Newport

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath repair in Llanbedr without replacing anything
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Llanbedr
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
