How we handle bath repair in Slatyford
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. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and burns and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Slatyford as everywhere else we work. Clean with mild, 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 Slatyford
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Questions from Slatyford
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 Slatyford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Slatyford and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
Do you need bath repair in Slatyford?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Scratches and burns
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected

Honest limits
In fairness, 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
