Bath Repair for Llithfaen homes
Our repair technicians come to Llithfaen for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95

Common problems we fix in Llithfaen
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps

Bath repair in Llithfaen without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Common questions in Llithfaen
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you cover Llithfaen?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Llithfaen and the rest of Gwynedd. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
