Newbiggin: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you come to Newbiggin?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Newbiggin from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Bath repair at your home in Newbiggin
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Do you need bath repair in Newbiggin?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Newbiggin
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newbiggin. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LA12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Newbiggin
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
