Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Allt-yr-yn as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Allt-yr-yn
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the entire UK

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Allt-yr-yn. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NP20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
