Bath repair in Ormesby without replacing anything

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and rust spots around the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Middlesbrough.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • 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.

Questions from Ormesby

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you come to Ormesby?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ormesby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you cover the whole of Middlesbrough?

All of Middlesbrough, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Ormesby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Ormesby

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Signs you need bath repair in Ormesby

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chipped rim or side

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
