How we handle bath repair in Dunston
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a cracked acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Questions from Dunston
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Dunston?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Dunston
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Dunston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Dunston
For anyone letting property in or around Dunston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
