Bath repair in Dolwyddelan, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and chips under the taps.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

- Chips under the taps

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Questions from Dolwyddelan
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How much does bath repair cost in Dolwyddelan?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LL25 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dolwyddelan. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
