What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

Bamburgh: your questions answered
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
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.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

When to call us in Bamburgh
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
