FAQs for Newlands
Can landlords and businesses in Newlands book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What guarantee do I get?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Newlands?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Bath repair in Newlands without replacing anything
Most baths can be used again the next day. 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. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about cracks and holes in acrylic baths and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

When to call us in Newlands
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
