About our bath repair in Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When to call us in Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What else we do in Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
