Northumberland Heath: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Northumberland Heath?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Bath repair in Northumberland Heath without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We are often asked to fix damage beneath the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairing versus replacing in Northumberland Heath
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?

- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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 repair chips early.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
