About our bath repair in Llwynypia

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Llwynypia, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llwynypia

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llwynypia use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common problems we fix in Llwynypia

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Llwynypia. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Your questions about bath repair in Llwynypia

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF40 postcode.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
