For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
About our bath repair in Newnham Murren
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newnham Murren as everywhere else we work.

Repairing versus replacing in Newnham Murren
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What affects the price in Newnham Murren
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newnham Murren. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
FAQs for Newnham Murren
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
