Bath repair for Llanigon homes

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

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’s the part we put right.

Bath repair in Llanigon, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

When to call us in Llanigon

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Your questions about bath repair in Llanigon

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Llanigon?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HR3 postcode.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Herefordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
