Bath repair in Dunston, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we’re called out for in Dunston
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Dunston
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Dunston
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
