Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
How we handle bath repair in Newtonmore
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. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Newtonmore: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Newtonmore?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Common problems we fix in Newtonmore
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
What affects the price in Newtonmore
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
Most customers in Newtonmore get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Newtonmore, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
