About our bath repair in Easington
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repairing versus replacing in Easington
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Do you need bath repair in Easington?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Easington contact us are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
