About our bath repair in Newton Aycliffe
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need bath repair in Newton Aycliffe
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last

What affects the price in Newton Aycliffe
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newton Aycliffe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Newton Aycliffe
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Repair or replace in Newton Aycliffe?
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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
