Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for New Byth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath repair in New Byth, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and holes from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

What affects the price in New Byth
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your AB53 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Common questions in New Byth
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Common problems we fix in New Byth
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
