What affects the price in Llanbella
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Llanbella
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What else we do in Llanbella
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Llanbella. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Llanbella
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
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 early repairs matter.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Llanbella and the rest of Herefordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
