Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How we handle bath repair in Middridge
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Middridge and across County Durham.

What we’re called out for in Middridge
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 enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Middridge: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across County Durham.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Middridge
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- 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, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
