Bath repair in Llyswen without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Ceredigion.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llyswen
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.

Signs you need bath repair in Llyswen
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Common questions in Llyswen
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you cover the entire of Ceredigion?
The entire UK, including all of Ceredigion. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
