How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Newton Ferrers

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Common problems we fix in Newton Ferrers

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Newton Ferrers

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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 any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Newton Ferrers questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

When can you do it?

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

Do you come to Newton Ferrers?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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