How bath repair works in NR6
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. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow.
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
What you will pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in NR6
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in NR6 as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we’re called out for in NR6
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

FAQs for NR6
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
