Bath Repair in Fawdon

How we handle bath repair in Fawdon

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and scratches and burns.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newcastle upon Tyne. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Do you need bath repair in Fawdon?

Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches and burns

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Fawdon questions

How much does bath repair cost in Fawdon?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Fawdon?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Fawdon and across Newcastle upon Tyne.

Do you cover Fawdon?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Fawdon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, 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.

When can I use it again after the repair?

Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and clean up before we leave.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Repairing versus replacing in Fawdon

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
