FAQs for Afon-wen
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Afon-wen, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What affects the price in Afon-wen
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Afon-wen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CH7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What else we do in Afon-wen
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we’re called out for in Afon-wen
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
