Your questions about bath repair in Newsbank

Do you come to Newsbank?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Newsbank from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newsbank

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Newsbank

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Newsbank. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Materials we work on in Newsbank

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

What we do, step by step

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 have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You do not 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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
