How we handle bath repair in Bardon Mill
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Bardon Mill, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
