DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our bath repair in Easington Colliery
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Common problems we fix in Easington Colliery
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Easington Colliery as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
