Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Your questions about bath repair in Harrowgate Village
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the whole of Darlington?
All of Darlington, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Harrowgate Village
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Signs you need bath repair in Harrowgate Village
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
