Bath repair at your home in Garth
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Garth
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garth
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
If you manage property in Garth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Garth
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Garth, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Garth questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Garth?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Here we cover the NP10 postcode area. Jobs here include addresses on Ty-Du Lane, Laurel Road and Berkley Road. Main roads around Garth include the A468, which makes travel easy. We also travel to Pentrepoeth (1 mile south-west), Graig (1 mile south-west), Bassaleg (1 mile east), Rhiwderin (1 mile west) and High Cross (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cover Newport (3 miles east), Victoria (3 miles east), Stow Hill (3 miles east), Maindee (4 miles east), Gold Tops (3 miles east) and Summer Hill (4 miles east).

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
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. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
