Bath repair in Elswick, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Elswick
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Elswick
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
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.
What we’re called out for in Elswick
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
