Bath repair in Llanwarne without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Llanwarne

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Your questions about bath repair in Llanwarne

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When to call us in Llanwarne

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

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, just like other baths.

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 is what we repair.
