FAQs for Rowlands Gill
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Rowlands Gill and the rest of Gateshead. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE39 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair

- Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath repair in Rowlands Gill
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Common reasons people in Rowlands Gill contact us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Rowlands Gill?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
