Our technicians come to Y Felinheli for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
About our bath repair in Y Felinheli
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Y Felinheli
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you come to Y Felinheli?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Y Felinheli from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Landlord and trade work in Y Felinheli
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 will come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
