Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Newnham. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Your questions about bath repair in Newnham
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newnham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.

How to prepare

Related advice
Signs you need bath repair in Newnham
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Common reasons people in Newnham contact us are:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
