How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Bath repair in Llay, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common questions in Llay

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What areas do you cover?

All of Wrexham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Signs you need bath repair in Llay

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
