Bath repair at your home in Llanfrechfa
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Common problems we fix in Llanfrechfa
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Llanfrechfa
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How much does bath repair cost in Llanfrechfa?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not 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 photos.
