Bath repair at your home in Wrekenton
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. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots where the enamel has gone and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Do you need bath repair in Wrekenton?
Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

Repairing versus replacing in Wrekenton
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price 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.

Questions from Wrekenton
Does someone need to be in?
Yes, usually. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
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.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What guarantee do I get?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you protect the room?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and clean up when we finish.
Do you come to Wrekenton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wrekenton and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Wrekenton?
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.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. 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 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
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
