Bath repair in Boulmer without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Boulmer
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you come to Boulmer?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Boulmer and the rest of Northumberland. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Boulmer and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Boulmer, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we are called out for in Boulmer
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
