How we handle bath repair in Alnwick
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

When to call us in Alnwick
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Alnwick questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Alnwick
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Alnwick. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
