About our bath repair in Kelloe
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and impact holes in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for Kelloe
How much does bath repair cost in Kelloe?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DH6 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Kelloe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kelloe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kelloe
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Do you need bath repair in Kelloe?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Kelloe contact us are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Same prices wherever you are

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
