About bath repair in County Durham

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
We clean, key and degrease the damage.
Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
We match both the colour and the shine.
We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

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.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Signs you need bath repair

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
A chipped rim or side
Rust spots around the plughole

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to County Durham. The price comes down to:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Unusual colours or finishes
The material
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

A clear, close picture of the problem area
A wider photo showing the whole bath
Something in shot to show the size
Details of any past repairs

Most clients in County Durham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

County Durham: your questions answered

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
