Bath repair at your home in LL20

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and deep scratches in acrylic, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

What it costs in LL20

Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Common problems we fix in LL20

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Common reasons people in LL20 contact us are:

Rust spots around the plughole
A cracked acrylic bath
A chip where the taps sit
Impact holes in acrylic

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to LL20. The price depends on:

What the surface is made of
The type of damage
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

One sharp close-up of the damage
What it’s made of, if you know
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A picture taken from further back

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in LL20, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Common questions in LL20

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Denbighshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
