Bath repair at your home in Newmarket
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and damage beneath the taps, we can typically put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newmarket as everywhere else we work.

Our visits in HS2 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. From Bakers Road and Riverview or a nearby road, a technician can come to you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What affects the price in Newmarket
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Newmarket
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need bath repair in Newmarket
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

Your questions about bath repair in Newmarket
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
