Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Llanrhidian Higher, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Llanrhidian Higher
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
