How we handle bath repair in Low Brunton

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Low Brunton

Do you come to Low Brunton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Low Brunton and the rest of Northumberland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does bath repair cost in Low Brunton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Low Brunton clients choose us

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Low Brunton

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Low Brunton. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
