Repairing versus replacing 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 takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Newtown customers choose us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it

Signs you need bath repair in Newtown
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Newtown
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Newtown and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
