Questions from Newlands
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Are there extra charges for Newlands?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Bath repair at your home in Newlands
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Send photos for a quote

- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Signs you need bath repair in Newlands
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Landlord and trade work in Newlands
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
