What your bath is made of matters
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 what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
About our bath repair in Felin-hên
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. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Felin-hên
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you come to Felin-hên?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Felin-hên and the rest of Gwynedd. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What affects the price in Felin-hên
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Felin-hên
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to care for the finish
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
