Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redworth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Redworth questions
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Redworth is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises 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
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we are called out for in Redworth
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
