About our bath repair in Llechryd

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs

Llechryd questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Llechryd. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is 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.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA43 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Llechryd

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Look out for these signs:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
