Bath repair at your home in Llanllwni
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Llanllwni?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA39 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Signs you need bath repair in Llanllwni
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Llanllwni questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work in Llanllwni?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Llanllwni from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
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.
