DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.

FAQs for Sugley
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you cover the entire of Newcastle upon Tyne?
Across the UK, and that includes Sugley. Prices do not change with location.

Should you replace it?

Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sugley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash

When to call us in Sugley
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sugley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
