Landlord and trade work in Newtown
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Bath repair in Newtown, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath repair in Newtown
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Common problems we fix in Newtown
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
