Bath chip & crack repair in Monkton, South Tyneside
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Monkton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair in Monkton without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Monkton: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Monkton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Monkton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
