How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Llyswen

How much does bath repair cost in Llyswen?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Powys, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Llyswen

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Llyswen

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
