About our bath repair in Llanfedw
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Llanfedw as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Questions from Llanfedw
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
