About our bath repair in Newton Ketton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Newton Ketton: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before booking

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton Ketton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newton Ketton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
