Trusted bath repair in Newhey

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Bath repair in Newhey, done in place

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newhey use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Newhey

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
