Your questions about bath repair in Heaton
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Heaton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Heaton
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
