Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Newton upon Derwent questions

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Newton upon Derwent included. Travel is included in the price.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Newton upon Derwent

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 until the acrylic gives way.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What your quote should include
