About our bath repair in Newby Bridge
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When to call us in Newby Bridge
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
