About our bath repair in Ashington
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and chips under the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about bath repair in Ashington
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When to call us in Ashington
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
