Bath Repair for Bedburn homes
Our technicians come to Bedburn for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
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 early repair keeps the cost down.
How we handle bath repair in Bedburn
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bedburn and across County Durham.

Repairing versus replacing in Bedburn
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Bedburn
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Questions from Bedburn
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you cover Bedburn?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bedburn. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
