About our bath repair in Middleton
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hartlepool.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Middleton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow

- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

What affects the price in Middleton
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
