Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Bath repair in Gwestydd, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gwestydd as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Gwestydd
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairing versus replacing in Gwestydd
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Gwestydd questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
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’ll tell you what to expect.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
