Bath repair in South Tyneside

About bath repair in South Tyneside

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.

Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled 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, often around the taps or the plughole.

On the day, 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. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
