Bath repair in Newcastle upon Tyne

Bath repair at your home in Newcastle upon Tyne

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
