Our bath repair service in NE11
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage beneath the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
What you will pay
Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Repair or replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
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 is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
How the damage happens
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Your questions about bath repair in NE11
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
