Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton Wood
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton Wood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Bath repair in Newton Wood without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and a chipped rim or side, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
When to call us in Newton Wood
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Your questions about bath repair in Newton Wood
Do you work in Newton Wood?
We do. Technicians travel to Newton Wood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Are there extra charges for Newton Wood?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
