How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Bath repair at your home in Deckham

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newcastle upon Tyne. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Repairing versus replacing in Deckham

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Do you need bath repair in Deckham?

Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches and burns
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

Common questions in Deckham

Does someone need to be in?

Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover Deckham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Deckham and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What guarantee do I get?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can I use it again after the repair?

Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can landlords and businesses in Deckham book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
