Bath repair in Llanfrynach

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Bath repair in Llanfrynach, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Llanfrynach and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Llanfrynach

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Common questions in Llanfrynach

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Llanfrynach

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Llanfrynach

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Impact holes in acrylic

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. 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.
