Bath repair in Beadnell without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Beadnell: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do you work in Beadnell?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Beadnell and the rest of Northumberland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Northumberland.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

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.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Holes from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
