About our bath repair in Y Ffôr
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Common questions in Y Ffôr
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Gwynedd. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath repair in Y Ffôr?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Y Ffôr. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
