Bath repair at your home in Longbenton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and impact holes in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What else we do in Longbenton
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Longbenton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Longbenton contact us are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders

FAQs for Longbenton
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of North Tyneside. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
