Our bath repair service in NE5

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Local landmarks in Denton

In Denton, that means homes near Benwell Nature Park, Holy Spirit and Studio West. For rail, the closest station is Blaydon station, about 1.8 miles south-west of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Metrocentre (2.4 miles south) and Newcastle Hospitals - Campus for Ageing and Vitality (2 miles east). For a walk, there is Addison and Hedgefield Woods and Bent Hill.

  • Other local spots include Newburn Urban District (2.1 miles west)

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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 repair chips early.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

Common questions in NE5

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Newcastle upon Tyne. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How soon can you come?
