Bath repair in Great Chilton, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 typically the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
