About bath repair in NE22

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and chips under the taps, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Questions from NE22

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NE22 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
