Bath repair at your home in Newbiggin
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Newbiggin
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newbiggin. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
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.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Newbiggin: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Newcastle upon Tyne.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the entire of Newcastle upon Tyne?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Common problems we fix in Newbiggin
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repairing versus replacing in Newbiggin
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We leave the room as we found it
