About bath repair in LD2

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Landlord and trade work in LD2

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Powys and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for LD2. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

LD2 questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
