When to call us in Simonburn

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Your questions about bath repair in Simonburn

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

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.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Simonburn?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price bath repair

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 generally cheaper.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
