How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newtown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in Newtown get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath repair in Newtown, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Newtown questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Newtown is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you come to Newtown?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Newtown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Newtown?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

All about bath chip & crack repair
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace in Newtown?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
