Bath repair in Newbourne without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit, we can generally put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Common questions in Newbourne
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Newbourne
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Newbourne, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

Signs you need bath repair in Newbourne
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
