About our bath repair in Horden
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Horden and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horden
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
