Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath repair in North Hylton without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

North Hylton questions
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you cover North Hylton?
We do. We send a technician to North Hylton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Sunderland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in North Hylton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Hylton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
