What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath repair in Cullercoats

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cullercoats use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath repair in Cullercoats

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Holes from dropped items

Questions from Cullercoats

How do I get a price for bath repair in Cullercoats?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Cullercoats?

We do. We send a technician to Cullercoats for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Repairing versus replacing in Cullercoats

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
