The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newtown. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Newtown get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we’re called out for in Newtown
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

Newtown: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newtown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
