How we handle bath repair in High Moorsley
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in High Moorsley and across Sunderland.

Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to High Moorsley. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Your questions about bath repair in High Moorsley
Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?
Across the UK, so High Moorsley is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
