Ashington: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
How we handle bath repair in Ashington
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and damage beneath the taps, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

About Ashington
Ashington is about 12 miles north of Tynemouth, in Northumberland. From the centre of Ashington to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Our repair technicians cover all 189 towns and villages across Northumberland, from the larger towns to small villages. Our jobs stretch from Ashington to Newcastle upon Tyne (13 miles away).
Our visits in NE63 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether you live on Wansbeck Square, Wedderburn Square and Arundel Square or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. With the A196 and A197 close by, Ashington is simple for us to get to. Close by, we cover North Seaton (1 mile south-east), West Sleekburn (1 mile south), Stakeford (1 mile south-west), Bomarsund (2 miles south-west) and Woodhorn (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Blyth (4 miles south), Cramlington (6 miles south), Morpeth (5 miles west), Bedlington (3 miles south-west), Newsham (5 miles south) and Amble (11 miles north). Being one of Northumberland’s larger places, Ashington is somewhere we visit often.
Local landmarks in Ashington
We visit homes around The Northumberland Church of England Academy, Grand pub and Central Primary School. For rail, the closest station is Ashington station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Bothal Castle (2.6 miles west) and Ashington Urban District (0.5 miles north-west).
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Ashington
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Signs you need bath repair in Ashington
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Before booking anyone

- When it can be used again

- Whether they match the colour on site
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
