Repairing versus replacing in North Shields
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Bath repair in North Shields without replacing anything
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 pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
Every repair is covered by our 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 sets in.

Do you need bath repair in North Shields?
Most bath damage 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, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Scratches and burns
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone

Questions from North Shields
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How much does bath repair cost in North Shields?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes, usually. We need access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, 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
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
