Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Newington questions
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work in Newington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Repairing versus replacing in Newington
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One price list for the whole UK
- Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Common problems we fix in Newington
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What affects the price in Newington
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newington. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
