About our bath repair in Tyne Dock
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. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can typically put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Tyne Dock?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Questions from Tyne Dock
Do you cover the whole of South Tyneside?
We work UK-wide, so Tyne Dock is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Tyne Dock?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
