How we handle bath repair in West Pontnewydd
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Pontnewydd as everywhere else we work.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for West Pontnewydd. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP44 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site

Common questions in West Pontnewydd
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including West Pontnewydd and the rest of Torfaen. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
