Bath repair in Burdon without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sunderland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Do you need bath repair in Burdon?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
