Your questions about bath repair in Llangunnor
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you come to Llangunnor?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Llangunnor. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Bath repair in Llangunnor, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Llangunnor. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Llangunnor
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
