How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Newton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Newton customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

FAQs for Newton

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cheshire West and Chester.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Newton?

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse it down after each bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 frequently lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Newton

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newton. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CH2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
