Bath chip & crack repair in Callerton, Newcastle upon Tyne
Bath repair in and around Callerton: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair in Callerton, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, 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, 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Common problems we fix in Callerton
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Callerton. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
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 does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
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 repair chips early.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
