Bath repair in Fourstones without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say 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.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

Common questions in Fourstones
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Northumberland.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
