Bath repair in Newton St Cyres without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

What we are called out for in Newton St Cyres

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newton St Cyres. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Newton St Cyres: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What affects the price in Newton St Cyres

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Newton St Cyres. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

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

Materials we work on in Newton St Cyres

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
