Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chipped rim or side.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Most customers in Newbold get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newbold. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Newbold
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items

Common questions in Newbold
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Newbold and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
