Bath repair at your home in Blanchland
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Blanchland, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Blanchland clients choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

Do you need bath repair in Blanchland?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
