What affects the price in Ystradowen
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ystradowen. The price depends on:
- The material
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Ystradowen questions
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
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.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Repairing versus replacing in Ystradowen
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
