Bath repair in Newcastle without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What we can’t put right

Newcastle: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Common problems we fix in Newcastle
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again

- How your room will be protected
What affects the price in Newcastle
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newcastle. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Newcastle get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Newcastle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
