Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorney Close
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sunderland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath repair in Thorney Close without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and a chipped rim or side.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath repair in Thorney Close
Do you come to Thorney Close?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thorney Close. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What we’re called out for in Thorney Close
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 normally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SR3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

What affects the price in Thorney Close
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?

Prices start from £95. We do not add 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.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
