Landlords, agents and businesses in Llandaff
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llandaff as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Bath repair in Llandaff, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from dropped items and rusty patches near the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we are called out for in Llandaff
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
