Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Bath repair in Walbottle, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walbottle
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Walbottle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What affects the price in Walbottle
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Walbottle. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Your questions about bath repair in Walbottle
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
