Bath repair at your home in Jesmond
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 and the tiles around it. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots where the enamel has gone and scratches and burns.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Signs you need bath repair in Jesmond
Nearly all the chips we see 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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

Common questions in Jesmond
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and 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. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. 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 the job. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
What guarantee do I get?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you come to Jesmond?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Jesmond. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords and businesses in Jesmond book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Jesmond and across Newcastle upon Tyne.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes, usually. We need access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, 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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
