Bath repair at your home in Seaburn Dene
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Seaburn Dene questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How much does bath repair cost in Seaburn Dene?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?
We work UK-wide, so Seaburn Dene is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Seaburn Dene. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
