Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair at your home in Crookhall
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crookhall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
For a price in Crookhall, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Crookhall questions
Do you come to Crookhall?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Crookhall and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you need bath repair in Crookhall?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
