What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Bath repair in Spital Tongues without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Common questions in Spital Tongues
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Spital Tongues?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE2 postcode.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
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 will tell you what to expect.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in Spital Tongues
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spital Tongues use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in Spital Tongues
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Spital Tongues

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
