DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Llanwern
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newport and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Llanwern. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Llanwern
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Llanwern?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NP18 postcode.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Llanwern and the rest of Newport. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Most customers in Llanwern get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
