How we handle bath repair in Battlefield
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No extra charge for your area
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlords, agents and businesses in Battlefield
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Signs you need bath repair in Battlefield
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Battlefield. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Most clients in Battlefield get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

FAQs for Battlefield
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How much does bath repair cost in Battlefield?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE1 postcode.
Do you cover Battlefield?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Battlefield for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
