Your questions about bath repair in Newchapel
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you cover Newchapel?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newchapel. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Newchapel?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
When to call us in Newchapel
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Repair or replace in Newchapel?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally the cheaper route.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newchapel
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newchapel as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
