What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Llandarcy
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

FAQs for Llandarcy
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you come to Llandarcy?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Llandarcy. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover the whole of Neath Port Talbot?
Everywhere in the UK, Llandarcy included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Llandarcy
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
