Bath repair in Capel-y-graig, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are rust spots around the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters
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
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Capel-y-graig: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
All of Gwynedd, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Are there extra charges for Capel-y-graig?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Signs you need bath repair in Capel-y-graig
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Capel-y-graig
- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
