- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit

Bath repair in New Wood without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for New Wood
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Repairing versus replacing in New Wood
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
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 will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in New Wood, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
