Bath repair in Llysworney without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Llysworney. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
