Bath repair in Kielder without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kielder and across Northumberland.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Kielder, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Kielder
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.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kielder. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Kielder
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
