How we handle bath repair in Urpeth
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Urpeth
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Urpeth and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Urpeth clients choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Urpeth questions
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH2 postcode.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you cover Urpeth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Urpeth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Signs you need bath repair in Urpeth
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
