How we handle bath repair in Colwyn Bay
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. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
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.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Colwyn Bay. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common questions in Colwyn Bay
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Colwyn Bay?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Colwyn Bay for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Conwy, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Repairs by material
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 is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Colwyn Bay

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we’re called out for in Colwyn Bay
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 lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
