Our bath repair service in NE49
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and chips under the taps.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why clients in NE49 choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in NE49, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
Repairing versus replacing
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place.
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
How the damage happens
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
