All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit.

What we are called out for in Carlton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace in Carlton?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. 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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Further afield, we also cover the area around Sadberge Castle (4.6 miles south-west) and Green Dragon Museum (3.6 miles south-east).
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Carlton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Carlton: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Are there extra charges for Carlton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Carlton.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
