Bath repair in Waunfawr, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Waunfawr questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Are there extra charges for Waunfawr?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Waunfawr, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
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.
What affects the price in Waunfawr
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
