Bath Repair in Sunderland

Common questions in Sunderland

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Sunderland?

Yes. We carry out repairs for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in Sunderland and the surrounding area.

How much does bath repair cost in Sunderland?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SR3 postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.

Do you protect the room?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and clean up before we leave.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Sunderland?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sunderland and the rest of Sunderland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we handle bath repair in Sunderland

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and burns and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. 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 sets in.

When to call us in Sunderland

Nearly all the chips we see 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 tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches and burns
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, 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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repair or replace in Sunderland?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Sunderland, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
