What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Newton Arlosh

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Newton Arlosh

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Do you need bath repair in Newton Arlosh?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Newton Arlosh

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Newton Arlosh?

We do. We send a technician to Newton Arlosh for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
