FAQs for Low Walker
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Newcastle upon Tyne, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Repair or replace in Low Walker?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work

- Rooms protected and left tidy

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What affects the price in Low Walker
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Low Walker. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

When to call us in Low Walker
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
