About our bath repair in Pillgwenlly
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newport.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What affects the price in Pillgwenlly
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pillgwenlly. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Pillgwenlly get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
Pillgwenlly questions
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Pillgwenlly.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
