How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Common problems we fix in Newbiggin

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Newbiggin

If you manage property in Newbiggin, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Newbiggin customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What affects the price in Newbiggin

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Newbiggin. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

FAQs for Newbiggin

Do you work in Newbiggin?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Newbiggin and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
