- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How we handle bath repair in Shieldfield
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shieldfield and across Newcastle upon Tyne.

When to call us in Shieldfield
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

- A chipped rim or side
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shieldfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
