Your questions about bath repair in Aycliffe Village
Are there extra charges for Aycliffe Village?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How we handle bath repair in Aycliffe Village
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Signs you need bath repair in Aycliffe Village
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
