Bath repair at your home in Newbiggin
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Newbiggin
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What else we do in Newbiggin
What we are called out for in Newbiggin
Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
