Bath repair at your home in Waen-pentir
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Waen-pentir
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Waen-pentir?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Waen-pentir.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Around Waen-pentir
Typical jobs here are in homes near Vaynol Arms and Church of St Cedol and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Bangor (Gwynedd) station, roughly 3.5 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Castell Llanddeiniolen (0.5 miles south-west) and Ysbyty Gwynedd Hospital NHS Trust (2.8 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Llyn Owen y Ddôl and Spinnies Nature Reserve.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
