Bath chip & crack repair in Dunston, Gateshead
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Dunston, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone

How we handle bath repair in Dunston
Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about cracks and holes in acrylic baths and scratches and burns.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Dunston questions
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.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the 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.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.
How much does bath repair cost in Dunston?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need bath repair in Dunston
Most bath damage 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 crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone

Repairing versus replacing in Dunston
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out 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. 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
