Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Llanelwedd

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Llanelwedd. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Llanelwedd. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Do you need bath repair in Llanelwedd?

Rust normally 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.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanelwedd as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
