About our bath repair in Llanrhystud

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We are often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Ceredigion.

Questions from Llanrhystud

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

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.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you need bath repair in Llanrhystud?

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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Llanrhystud. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Ceredigion and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
