Bath repair at your home in Newtown
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newtown. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we are called out for in Newtown
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides

Other services in Newtown
Landlord and trade work in Newtown
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtown use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newtown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Newtown
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
Everywhere in the UK, Newtown included. Travel is included in the price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
