How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Llwyn-y-Pia and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath repair in Llwyn-y-Pia without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Llwyn-y-Pia
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers typically contact us about:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders

- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Llwyn-y-Pia. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Your questions about bath repair in Llwyn-y-Pia
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Llwyn-y-Pia included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Llwyn-y-Pia
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llwyn-y-Pia use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
