What affects the price in Newton St Faith

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Bath repair in Newton St Faith, done in place

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Questions from Newton St Faith

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Newton St Faith included. Travel is included in the price.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips under the taps

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
