About our bath repair in Llandygai

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When to call us in Llandygai

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Llandygai: your questions answered

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the entire of Gwynedd?

All of Gwynedd, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do you cover Llandygai?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Llandygai from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
