How we handle bath repair in Pelton Fell
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common questions in Pelton Fell
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What affects the price in Pelton Fell
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Signs you need bath repair in Pelton Fell
Most bath damage comes from something 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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
