Bath repair in East Boldon, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and a chip where the taps sit.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Landlord and trade work in East Boldon
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in East Boldon
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before booking
- One-year guarantee on every repair

When to call us in East Boldon
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
