If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace in Newstead?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common questions in Newstead
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Newstead and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

- Cast iron enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
