How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Ryton Woodside
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ryton Woodside included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What affects the price in Ryton Woodside
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Ryton Woodside, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE40 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in Ryton Woodside?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched

- What prep work is covered
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
