Bath repair at your home in Llansanwyr

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Llansanwyr and across the Vale of Glamorgan.

Llansanwyr: your questions answered

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover Llansanwyr?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Llansanwyr from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llansanwyr

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llansanwyr. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What we are called out for in Llansanwyr

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
