Cramlington: your questions answered

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Bath repair at your home in Cramlington

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. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Cramlington

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
