What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Pen-y-ffridd
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath

Pen-y-ffridd questions
Do you come to Pen-y-ffridd?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Pen-y-ffridd from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Pen-y-ffridd is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

We cover all 165 towns and villages in Gwynedd, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Liverpool, about 58 miles away.
All of LL54 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Whether you live on Gewlfor and Y Dreflan or a nearby road, a technician can come to you.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Pen-y-ffridd
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gwynedd and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
