DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath repair in Barmouth, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price

Advice
Repair or replace in Barmouth?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic

What affects the price in Barmouth
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barmouth. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LL42 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath repair in Barmouth
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
