A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
FAQs for Jarrow
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the entire of South Tyneside?
Everywhere in the UK, Jarrow included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Landlord and trade work in Jarrow
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Jarrow
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
