About our bath repair in Cockerton
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cockerton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cockerton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Cockerton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Cockerton: your questions answered
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you cover the entire of Darlington?
Across the UK, so Cockerton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Darlington.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
