Bath repair at your home in Hendon
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sunderland.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hendon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Hendon
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Hendon is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
