Repair or replace in Alnmouth?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alnmouth
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Alnmouth questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Are there extra charges for Alnmouth?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
