Bath chip & crack repair in Morley, County Durham
Fixed-price bath repair in Morley and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Bath repair in Morley without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Morley and across County Durham.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Morley
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Morley.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What else we do in Morley
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Morley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
