Bath repair at your home in LL48
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and holes from dropped items.
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What’s near Penrhyndeudraeth
We visit homes around Y Dderwen pub and Holy Trinity Church, among other places. There is a railway station in Penrhyndeudraeth itself: Penrhyndeudraeth station. Nearby you will also find Ysbyty Alltwen (3.5 miles west) and Porthmadog East (2 miles west). The countryside around Penrhyndeudraeth includes Pen-y-bwlch and Gwaith Powdwr.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
What affects the price in LL48
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Questions from LL48
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
