Bath repair for Newcastle homes

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Newcastle clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we handle bath repair in Newcastle

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Do you need bath repair in Newcastle?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chip where the taps sit

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Newcastle questions

Do you cover Newcastle?

We do. We send a technician to Newcastle for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

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.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Newcastle?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What affects the price in Newcastle

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Landlord and trade work in Newcastle

For anyone letting property in or around Newcastle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
