What else we do in Bellingham
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Bellingham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Common questions in Bellingham
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Can I fix it myself?
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 often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Common problems we fix in Bellingham
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
