Bath repair in New Mills without replacing anything
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 won’t last.

Do you need bath repair in New Mills?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around New Mills, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common questions in New Mills

What does bath repair cost?

Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for New Mills. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
