We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Do you need bath repair in Llangollen Rural?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Common questions in Llangollen Rural
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
