Bath Repair in Stockton-on-Tees

Bath repair across Stockton-on-Tees: what to expect

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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath.

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

• Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
• Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
• Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
• Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stockton-on-Tees. What changes the price is:

• How many items we do on one visit
• Where the damage is and how we get to it
• The size and number of damaged areas
• Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

• A picture taken from further back
• The postcode, so we can plan the visit
• A close-up of the damage, in focus
• Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
