How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Bath repair in Llanbradach without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llanbradach

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Llanbradach

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Llanbradach

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Repairing versus replacing in Llanbradach

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One price list for the entire UK

Signs you need bath repair in Llanbradach

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
