Bath repair at your home in Gatesheath
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Gatesheath
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What we’re called out for in Gatesheath
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. 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.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Gatesheath questions
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Gatesheath?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CH3 postcode.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Gatesheath included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gatesheath. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For a price in Gatesheath, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
