Bath repair in Port Mulgrave, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Port Mulgrave and across Redcar and Cleveland.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in Port Mulgrave
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Port Mulgrave
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Port Mulgrave use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should you replace it?
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’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Port Mulgrave
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work in Port Mulgrave?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Port Mulgrave from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
