DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need bath repair in Littletown?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Littletown
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do you come to Littletown?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Littletown and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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, normally the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
If you are in Littletown and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
