Bath repair at your home in Newhills
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newhills
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newhills use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Newhills
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Common problems we fix in Newhills
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
