Bath repair at your home in Newcastle
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newcastle. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Newcastle: your questions answered
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
If you’re in Newcastle and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Do you need bath repair in Newcastle?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps

Repairing versus replacing in Newcastle
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
