About our bath repair in Belford
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Belford
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When to call us in Belford
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How it works
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 job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
