Landlord and trade work in Gelli-groes
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath repair in Gelli-groes without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and chips caused by builders.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Gelli-groes
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you come to Gelli-groes?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Gelli-groes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How much does bath repair cost in Gelli-groes?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NP12 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
When to call us in Gelli-groes
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gelli-groes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
