About our bath repair in Newmarket
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Newmarket questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Newmarket.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

What else we do in Newmarket
Our work in Newmarket
Newmarket is about 12 miles east of Cambridge, in Cambridgeshire. Clients in Newmarket get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from pictures, then a visit to do the work. Newmarket is one of 371 towns and villages in Cambridgeshire where we work. We work right across the region, from Newmarket to London (56 miles away).
We work across CB8. Jobs here include addresses on Market Street, High Street and Old Station Road and the roads around them. Main roads around Newmarket include the A142 and A1304, so getting to you is simple. We also travel to Snailwell (2 miles north), Cheveley (3 miles south-east), Woodditton (3 miles south-east), Little Ditton (3 miles south-east) and Moulton (4 miles east). Further out, we also cover Cambridge (12 miles west), Ely (12 miles north-west), Littleport (15 miles north), King's Hedges (11 miles west), Soham (7 miles north-west) and Arbury (12 miles west).

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Newmarket?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
