About our bath repair in New Quay
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with chips under the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including New Quay. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in New Quay, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in New Quay
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 the part we put right.

New Quay questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
