Bath repair near Middlesbrough

Bath repair in Middlesbrough without replacing anything

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

Common problems we fix in Middlesbrough

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.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Middlesbrough. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Middlesbrough

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Middlesbrough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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 takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Middlesbrough

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
