Bath repair in Newton, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repairing versus replacing in Newton

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Newton questions

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Newton?

We do. Technicians travel to Newton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 usually cheaper.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Newton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
