Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our bath repair in Newport
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and chips caused by builders.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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.
What we are called out for in Newport
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newport. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newport. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Newport get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
