Bath repair in Wallend, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wallend
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the entire UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything

Common questions in Wallend
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Wallend?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Wallend from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What we are called out for in Wallend
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
