Bath repair in Pen-twyn without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pen-twyn and across Torfaen.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Pen-twyn and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Pen-twyn: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How much does bath repair cost in Pen-twyn?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-twyn
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Torfaen and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
