Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairing versus replacing in Berwick-upon-Tweed
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Berwick-upon-Tweed: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
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, and we will tell you what to expect.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down 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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Berwick-upon-Tweed
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
