Bath repair near North Newton

Bath repair in North Newton, done in place

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

What affects the price in North Newton

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we are called out for in North Newton

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips under the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

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 quote.

Related advice

North Newton: your questions answered

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work in North Newton?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
