Bath repair across NE19: what to expect

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for NE19. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit.

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Signs you need bath repair

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being 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 lets water in, and rust follows.

Common reasons people in NE19 contact us include:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Common questions in NE19

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How much does bath repair cost in NE19?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
