How we handle bath repair in Newlands
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newlands as everywhere else we work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Newlands
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What else we do in Newlands
Landlord and trade work in Newlands
If you manage property in Newlands, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
When to call us in Newlands
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What affects the price in Newlands
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
