How bath repair works in NE69
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and damage beneath the taps.
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Near you in Bamburgh
We visit homes around St Aidan's Church and The Castle Hotel, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Chathill station, about 4.8 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include RNLI Grace Darling Museum (within half a mile north-west) and Bamburgh Castle (under half a mile north-east). Not far away are Brada Hill.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Signs you need bath repair
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
Repairing versus replacing
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
NE69: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Northumberland.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
