Need bath repair in Newnham?

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

About our bath repair in Newnham

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Newnham

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

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 get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Newnham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newnham 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 price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Newnham?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
