Bath repair in Gellilydan, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gellilydan and across Gwynedd.

When to call us in Gellilydan
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Repairing versus replacing in Gellilydan
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gellilydan
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gwynedd and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Common questions in Gellilydan
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.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?
