Bath repair at your home in Glanton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Glanton
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Glanton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NE66 postcode.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Glanton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Glanton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Glanton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
