What affects the price in Berwick St James
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How we handle bath repair in Berwick St James
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Berwick St James
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repairing versus replacing in Berwick St James
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one.

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Berwick St James
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Questions from Berwick St James
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
