What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

FAQs for Trelawnyd and Gwaenysgor

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Trelawnyd and Gwaenysgor?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LL18 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repair or replace in Trelawnyd and Gwaenysgor?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Trelawnyd and Gwaenysgor. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
