Bath repair at your home in Llancarfan
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When to call us in Llancarfan
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Llancarfan: your questions answered
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Llancarfan, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What your bath is made of matters
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 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.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
