Bath repair in Branch End, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Branch End questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?
We cover the whole UK, including Branch End and the rest of Northumberland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic

What else we do in Branch End
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
For a price in Branch End, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in Branch End
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
