Bath repair at your home in Beamish
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Signs you need bath repair in Beamish
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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Beamish: your questions answered
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Are there extra charges for Beamish?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Repair or replace in Beamish?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why Beamish customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
