Bath chip & crack repair in Newbiggin, Lancashire
Fixed-price bath repair in Newbiggin and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our bath repair in Newbiggin
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Newbiggin

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Questions from Newbiggin
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
When to call us in Newbiggin
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
