Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our bath repair in Newney Green
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can typically put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Newney Green
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Newney Green: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Newney Green included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Newney Green?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
