How bath repair works in Torfaen
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
What you’ll pay
Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it.

How the damage happens
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
