About our bath repair in Newtown Unthank
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Newtown Unthank questions
Do you work in Newtown Unthank?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Newtown Unthank from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When to call us in Newtown Unthank
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What affects the price in Newtown Unthank
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Newtown Unthank
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newtown Unthank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
