How we handle bath repair in Cochrane Park
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and rust by the waste and overflow, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Your questions about bath repair in Cochrane Park
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you work in Cochrane Park?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cochrane Park and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cochrane Park use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Signs you need bath repair in Cochrane Park
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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 tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
