Bath repair at your home in SR4

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the damage happens

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Repair or replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around SR4, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to SR4. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

SR4 questions

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work in SR4?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to SR4 and the rest of Sunderland. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
