Bath chip & crack repair in Newborough, Staffordshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Newborough, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
For landlords and businesses
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Bath repair in Newborough without replacing anything
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. You can typically use the bath the next day. We’re often asked to fix chips caused by builders and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Newborough: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Newborough?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newborough. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Where we work around Newborough
Newborough is about 6 miles south-east of Uttoxeter, in Staffordshire. We visit customers in Newborough and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to.

We also travel to Hoar Cross (1 mile south), Hanbury Woodend (2 miles east), Draycott in the Clay (2 miles north-east), Woodend (3 miles east) and Hanbury (3 miles north-east).

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newborough. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before you book

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

What else we do in Newborough
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
