Our bath repair service in NE10

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Pricing in NE10

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

Deep scratches in acrylic
Cracks in an acrylic bath
Holes from dropped items
Snagging damage from a refit

Repair or replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. 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’ll tell you.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The type of damage
How many items we do on one visit
The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

A close-up of the damage, in focus
Your postcode, so we can check dates
Any earlier repairs or coatings
Natural light rather than flash

There’s 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in NE10

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about bath repair in NE10

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
