About our bath repair in Penshaw
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Penshaw
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

Landlord and trade work in Penshaw
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Repairing versus replacing in Penshaw
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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 normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What we are called out for in Penshaw
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
