Bath repair for Llanbedrog homes

Bath repair at your home in Llanbedrog

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Llanbedrog. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LL53 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanbedrog use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about bath repair in Llanbedrog

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gwynedd.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Common problems we fix in Llanbedrog

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
