What we’re called out for in Newtown
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
How we handle bath repair in Newtown
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Newtown questions
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you work in Newtown?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Newtown from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newtown. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
