How we handle bath repair in Dunston
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath

Repairing versus replacing in Dunston
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dunston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Dunston
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dunston. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
