Bath chip & crack repair in Newtown, Cardiff
Bath repair across Newtown and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath repair in Newtown without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
FAQs for Newtown
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
