Bath repair in Newland without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t 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. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and a cracked acrylic bath.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Signs you need bath repair in Newland
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit

What else we do in Newland
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit

Common questions in Newland
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you come to Newland?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Newland. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
