A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Landlord and trade work in Newbarns
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
What affects the price in Newbarns
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
