Our bath repair service in LL49
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and damage beneath the taps, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Near you in Porthmadog
Around Porthmadog, we work in homes near Red Lion pub, Eglwys y Tabernacl and Ysgol Eifionydd and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Porthmadog itself: Porthmadog station. A little further out are Castell Gwain Goch (1.7 miles south-east) and Porthmadog East (0.7 miles east). The countryside around Porthmadog includes Ynys Hir and Gwaith Powdwr.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
What affects the price in LL49
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Landlord and trade work in LL49
If you manage property in LL49, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gwynedd and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common problems we fix in LL49
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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions from LL49
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
