Bath repair in Lower New Inn, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Lower New Inn?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Lower New Inn questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Landlord and trade work in Lower New Inn
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Lower New Inn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
