Bath repair in Sacriston without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and deep scratches in acrylic, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sacriston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Sacriston questions
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Sacriston?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Sacriston
- Roll-top & freestanding

Repair or replace in Sacriston?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
