Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. 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 frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

About our bath repair in Llanycrwys

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Llanycrwys

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about bath repair in Llanycrwys

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Llanycrwys included. Travel is included in the price.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

For landlords and businesses

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Llanycrwys

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
