Bath chip & crack repair in Blaydon, Gateshead
Fixed-price bath repair in Blaydon and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.
Bath repair at your home in Blaydon
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we are called out for in Blaydon
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Blaydon: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
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.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you come to Blaydon?
We do. We send a technician to Blaydon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What affects the price in Blaydon
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
