Bath repair in Newby, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and deep scratches in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Newby questions
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Newby included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Middlesbrough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
