About our bath repair in Porth Dinllaen
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Your questions about bath repair in Porth Dinllaen
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you work in Porth Dinllaen?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Porth Dinllaen and the rest of Gwynedd. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How much does bath repair cost in Porth Dinllaen?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
