How we handle bath repair in Newchurch

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath, we can usually put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused by builders

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newchurch. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO36 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newchurch

For anyone letting property in or around Newchurch, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Isle of Wight and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.
