Bath repair at your home in Font-y-gary
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Font-y-gary
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Font-y-gary is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Font-y-gary?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Font-y-gary from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

The most common problems we are called about are:

- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace in Font-y-gary?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
