Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Blackhall Rocks. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

About our bath repair in Blackhall Rocks
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix chips under the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Blackhall Rocks
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Blackhall Rocks. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath repair in Blackhall Rocks?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
