Our bath repair service in NE17
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Common problems we fix in NE17
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
Questions from NE17
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you cover the entire of Gateshead?
Everywhere in the UK, NE17 included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
