Repair or replace in Llanmartin?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Signs you need bath repair in Llanmartin
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Llanmartin, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Common questions in Llanmartin
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
