Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Bath repair in Low Gate without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

FAQs for Low Gate
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Low Gate and the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Low Gate. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Low Gate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Low Gate
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

What we are called out for in Low Gate
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
