Bath chip & crack repair in Eastgate, County Durham
Our technicians come to Eastgate for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we handle bath repair in Eastgate
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Eastgate
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Eastgate
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What we’re called out for in Eastgate
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eastgate as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
