Bath repair at your home in Washington
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches and burns.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sunderland. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Questions from Washington
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
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.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Washington?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE38 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you protect the room?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and clean up before we leave.
What guarantee do I get?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Washington
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. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Washington
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. 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.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches and burns
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

How it works
On the day, 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 let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
