How bath repair works in SR7

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Near you in Seaham

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Seaham High School, Church of St Mary Magdalen and Seaham Trinity Primary School, among other places. There is a railway station in Seaham itself: Seaham station. Well-known places in the area include Dalton Park (1.8 miles south-west) and Seaham Infirmary (0.5 miles east). Not far away are Beacon Hill.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common problems we fix in SR7

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips on the rim or sides

SR7: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover SR7?

We do. Technicians travel to SR7 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
