How we handle bath repair in Gosforth
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about cracks and holes in acrylic baths and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Repairing versus replacing in Gosforth
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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.

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.

Signs you need bath repair in Gosforth
Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- 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

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
