Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new 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, what it’s made of 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.

How we handle bath repair in Elswick
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Questions from Elswick
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually by the next day, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.

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
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Elswick
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
