How we handle bath repair in Low Etherley
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Low Etherley
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Signs you need bath repair in Low Etherley
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Low Etherley. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Low Etherley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlord and trade work in Low Etherley
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
