How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in New Winton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath repair in New Winton, done in place

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Repair or replace in New Winton?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why New Winton clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Your questions about bath repair in New Winton

Are there extra charges for New Winton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of East Lothian. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
