A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath

Most clients in Newbridge 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.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Newbridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we are called out for in Newbridge
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Newbridge: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
