Bath chip & crack repair in Newport, Isle of Wight
We travel to Newport for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Bath repair in Newport, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Newport
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Newport, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Newport
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
Do you cover the entire of Isle of Wight?
Everywhere in the UK, Newport included. There is no extra charge for travel.
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.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Repairs by material
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. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Newport?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before booking anyone

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
