Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunstan
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
About our bath repair in Dunstan
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

What we are called out for in Dunstan
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dunstan. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Dunstan get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Dunstan

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
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.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Dunstan: your questions answered
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
