Bath Repair in Sowhill
Bath repair in and around Sowhill: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Bath repair in Sowhill, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Torfaen.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Do you need bath repair in Sowhill?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Sowhill contact us are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sowhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For anyone letting property in or around Sowhill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
