What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

About our bath repair in Newsham
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rusty patches near the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Common problems we fix in Newsham
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items

Can I add another job to the visit?

Are there extra charges for Newsham?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
For anyone letting property in or around Newsham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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 usually use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
