Bath repair at your home in Llanishen
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Llanishen
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

FAQs for Llanishen
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Llanishen?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Llanishen. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Llanishen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Llanishen customers choose us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted

- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
