Bath Repair near Gateshead Fell

How we handle bath repair in Gateshead Fell

Most baths can be used again the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.

Every repair 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 can start.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take 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. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Do you need bath repair in Gateshead Fell?

Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
