Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Bath repair at your home in Newbury
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Newbury clients choose us
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newbury
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Newbury
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When to call us in Newbury
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you repair coloured baths?

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
