Bath Repair for Hurworth Place homes
We travel to Hurworth Place for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Bath repair in Hurworth Place without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hurworth Place. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hurworth Place. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

When to call us in Hurworth Place
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
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.
