Bath repair at your home 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. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newtown as everywhere else we work.

Newtown questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

What else we do in Newtown
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Newtown, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common problems we fix 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.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
