Bath repair at your home in Winlaton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips on the rim or sides, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gateshead and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Winlaton questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Gateshead?
The entire UK, including all of Gateshead. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Repair or replace in Winlaton?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need bath repair in Winlaton?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Winlaton
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
