We are frequently asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

New Houghton questions
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How much does bath repair cost in New Houghton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price

Related advice
Common problems we fix in New Houghton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the entire UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
