Bath repair at your home in Newenden
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Newenden questions
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you come to Newenden?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Newenden. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally 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 Newenden clients choose us
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

- Rust by the waste and overflow

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
