What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

About our bath repair in Tan-y-lan

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and a chip where the taps sit.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Conwy.

  • Chips on the rim or sides

Our hiring checklist

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Tan-y-lan and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Tan-y-lan questions

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LL29 postcode.

Are there extra charges for Tan-y-lan?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
