Newton: your questions answered

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Do you cover Newton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

About our bath repair in Newton

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

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 the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  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. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NN14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Newton is about 3 miles south of Corby, in Northamptonshire. Whether you are in the middle of Newton or on the outskirts, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed quote, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Newton is one of 364 towns and villages in Northamptonshire where we work. We work right across the region, from Newton to Birmingham (about 50 miles away).

Our visits in NN14 are booked in the same way as anywhere else.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
