How we handle bath repair in Newtown
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Your questions about bath repair in Newtown
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Newtown, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What else we do in Newtown
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
