Llanblethian: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Bath repair in Llanblethian, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. We are often asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and deep scratches in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Llanblethian. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place
- One price list for the whole UK

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in Llanblethian
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in Llanblethian
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
