Pontllyfni: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Pontllyfni?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LL54 postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pontllyfni. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price
