About our bath repair in Llwyn-y-brain
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Llwyn-y-brain
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does bath repair cost in Llwyn-y-brain?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need bath repair in Llwyn-y-brain

- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
