When to call us in Y Waun
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Y Waun questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Flintshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
