Bath repair at your home in Ffestiniog
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

Common problems we fix in Ffestiniog
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Ffestiniog: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
How much does bath repair cost in Ffestiniog?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LL41 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
