Common questions in Newtown

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How invisible is a bath repair?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Bath repair at your home in Newtown

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Newtown

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newtown. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Newtown

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

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

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips under the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
