Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Newlay and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newlay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath repair in Newlay?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Newlay: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Leeds.

How much does bath repair cost in Newlay?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
