Bath repair at your home in Longbenton
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 roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots where the enamel has gone.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Longbenton questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Longbenton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NE12 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.

When to call us in Longbenton
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something 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, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while we work
- When it can be used again
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
