Bath repair at your home in Haltwhistle
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Haltwhistle as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What affects the price in Haltwhistle
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Haltwhistle questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Haltwhistle?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Haltwhistle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in Haltwhistle
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
