Bath repair at your home in Newbold
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips on the rim or sides, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newbold. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Newbold get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
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.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
