Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle bath repair in Newborough
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Newborough: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you work in Newborough?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Newborough from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairing versus replacing in Newborough
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

When to call us in Newborough
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
