What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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 the part we put right.

We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a cracked acrylic bath, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Landlord and trade work in Otterburn
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Otterburn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Otterburn, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Otterburn
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
Common questions in Otterburn
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Otterburn?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
