What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newcastle Higher use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Newcastle Higher questions
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you come to Newcastle Higher?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newcastle Higher and the rest of Bridgend. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Common problems we fix in Newcastle Higher
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
