Bath repair in Dunston without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Dunston
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You don’t 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Dunston
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Dunston and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dunston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Landlord and trade work in Dunston
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
When to call us in Dunston
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
