How bath repair works in SA47

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Prices in SA47

Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Local landmarks in Llanarth

We visit homes around Llanina Arms and St David's Church, among other places. Nearby you will also find New Quay Heritage Centre (2.7 miles north-west) and Cydplwyf (1.7 miles west). Open spaces near Llanarth include Allt Cefn-maes-llan.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including SA47. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in SA47, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

FAQs for SA47

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
