How we handle bath repair in Gateshead
You can usually use the bath 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. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.
All our work is covered by our 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 can start.

What a repair can’t fix
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Signs you need bath repair in Gateshead
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled 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:
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
