What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tan-y-foel. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How we handle bath repair in Tan-y-foel
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Tan-y-foel: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Tan-y-foel?
We do. We send a technician to Tan-y-foel for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Tan-y-foel?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LL57 postcode.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

How it works

- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Work done at your home or business

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gwynedd and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
