Landlords, agents and businesses in Llanvetherine

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Monmouthshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

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 early repairs matter.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 normally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llanvetherine. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Questions from Llanvetherine

Do you come to Llanvetherine?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Llanvetherine and the rest of Monmouthshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Will it make a mess?

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