Bath repair at your home in NE30
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Near you in Cullercoats
Typical jobs here are in homes near St George's Cullercoats, Marden High School and Queens Head pub, among other places. The closest station to Cullercoats is Northumberland Park (Tyne and Wear) station, roughly 3.4 miles west. Other landmarks nearby include Silverlink Shopping Park (2.8 miles south-west) and Municipal Borough of Whitley Bay (1.3 miles north-west).
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in NE30 use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
Common questions in NE30
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of North Tyneside. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
