Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
About our bath repair in Low Fell
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips caused by builders, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newcastle upon Tyne.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Low Fell. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Low Fell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
