Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

How we handle bath repair in Newburgh

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and chips caused by builders, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Newburgh

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Do I have to be there?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Newburgh, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Newburgh

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
