Repair or replace in Newby?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath repair in Newby without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Newby
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again

Landlord and trade work in Newby
If you manage property in Newby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Newby
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
