How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

Advice
How we handle bath repair in Ashington
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to 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 roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Ashington questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.
Will you leave a mess?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Ashington?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit.

Signs you need bath repair in Ashington
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
