Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Bath repair in Sunderland Bridge, done in place
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace in Sunderland Bridge?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before booking
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Everything repaired in place

Sunderland Bridge: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Sunderland Bridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common problems we fix in Sunderland Bridge
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
