Signs you need bath repair in Caernarfon
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work

Bath repair at your home in Caernarfon
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Caernarfon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Caernarfon
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caernarfon use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Caernarfon questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
