Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
About our bath repair in Newton-le-Willows
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newton-le-Willows. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back

Questions from Newton-le-Willows
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we’re called out for in Newton-le-Willows
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlord and trade work in Newton-le-Willows
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton-le-Willows use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
