Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Llwyncelyn. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Llwyncelyn

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

FAQs for Llwyncelyn

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
