About our bath repair in Newstead
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newstead and across Lincolnshire.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newstead. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Newstead
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking

Newstead questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?

How the visit works

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit

- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Materials and what they mean for 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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
