Bath repair in Newbridge

How we handle bath repair in Newbridge

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and chips under the taps.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Newbridge

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Common reasons people in Newbridge contact us are:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

Questions from Newbridge

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO41 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newbridge

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Newbridge

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
