Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
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.
Bath repair in Haydon Bridge, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and a chip where the taps sit, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What affects the price in Haydon Bridge
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Your questions about bath repair in Haydon Bridge
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What areas do you cover?

What we can’t put right

- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
