How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bedlington. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Common questions in Bedlington
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Landlord and trade work in Bedlington
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bedlington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
