Ffordd-y-Gyfraith: your questions answered
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
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.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ffordd-y-Gyfraith as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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 what we repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ffordd-y-Gyfraith. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Ffordd-y-Gyfraith and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
