Bath Repair across Newcastle upon Tyne

About bath repair in Newcastle upon Tyne

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Newcastle upon Tyne questions

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
