How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Fawdon get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common problems we fix in Fawdon
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

It helps to know what we cannot do:

Fawdon questions
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How much does bath repair cost in Fawdon?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE3 postcode.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you cover Fawdon?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Fawdon and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
