Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to New Lambton. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around New Lambton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
New Lambton questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in New Lambton.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you need bath repair in New Lambton?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
