Bath chip & crack repair in Haswell Moor, County Durham

- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No extra charge for your area

Bath repair in Haswell Moor, done in place
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. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Haswell Moor
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 it cracks.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Landlords, agents and businesses in Haswell Moor
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
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 early repair keeps the cost down.
