How we handle bath repair in Llandudwg Uchaf
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Common problems we fix in Llandudwg Uchaf
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Llandudwg Uchaf
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
