Getting a price from pictures

How we handle bath repair in Darlington
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’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and rust by the waste and overflow.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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 it pays to deal with it early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Darlington
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Darlington.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
