Bath repair in Newtownards, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What else we do in Newtownards
Landlord and trade work in Newtownards
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtownards as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Newtownards, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Do you need bath repair in Newtownards?
Rust usually starts where water sits, 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 along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Newtownards questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Newtownards is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
