Bath repair at your home in Wrekenton
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
