Defynnog: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, 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.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover the whole of Powys?
Everywhere in the UK, Defynnog included. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Bath repair in Defynnog without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and chips under the taps, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Defynnog as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Defynnog
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Defynnog use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
