Bath repair in West Rainton without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage beneath the taps, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in West Rainton
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows 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. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Rainton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
