Bath Repair in Newlyn

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath repair in Newlyn, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We’re often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newlyn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Newlyn, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in Newlyn
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs
