DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Bath repair at your home in Bournmoor
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sunderland.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repair or replace in Bournmoor?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bournmoor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need bath repair in Bournmoor
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
