Bath repair in Newby, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and cracks in an acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Newby
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose.

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Newby questions
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
