Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
How we handle bath repair in Shiremoor
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Shiremoor
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Shiremoor contact us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides

Shiremoor questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Shiremoor. What changes the price is:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Most clients in Shiremoor get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shiremoor
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
