Bath repair at your home in Newington
You can usually use the bath the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and scratches and burns.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

When to call us in Newington
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
