What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Questions from Cil-ffriw
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
When to call us in Cil-ffriw
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
