Benthall: your questions answered
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Will I be able to see the repair?
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?
All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

- Make sure the area is dry

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Benthall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour-matched on site
- Work done at your home or business
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Do you need bath repair in Benthall?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Benthall. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Benthall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
