How we handle bath repair in Harlech
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. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath repair in Harlech
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Harlech
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
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 will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover the entire of Gwynedd?
The whole UK, including all of Gwynedd. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Harlech
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
