Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houghton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Houghton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

When to call us in Houghton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
