How we handle bath repair in Willington Quay
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Willington Quay
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole

Willington Quay: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Which areas do you work in?
All of South Tyneside, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you cover Willington Quay?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Willington Quay for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Landlord and trade work in Willington Quay
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Tyneside and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Other services in Willington Quay
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Willington Quay

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Willington Quay. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Willington Quay get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
