What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can

About our bath repair in North Shields
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. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in North Shields
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Tyneside.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in North Shields
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Shields use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace in North Shields?
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 a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
