About our bath repair in Rowley
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. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rowley and across County Durham.

Questions from Rowley
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rowley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Rowley. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Covering Rowley
Rowley is about 2 miles south-west of Consett, in County Durham. We visit homes and businesses in Rowley and nearby villages, so you do not need to take anything anywhere. Rowley is one of 329 towns and villages in County Durham we cover. We work right across the region, from Rowley to Newcastle upon Tyne (14 miles away).
All of DH8 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. From Rowley Bank and Longedge Lane or a nearby road, we can come to you. Close by, we cover Castleside (1 mile north-west), Healeyfield (1 mile west), The Grove (1 mile north), Allensford (2 miles north-west) and Consett (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Durham (12 miles east), Bishop Auckland (14 miles south-east), Spennymoor (13 miles south-east), Chester-le-Street (11 miles east), Stanley (7 miles north-east) and Crook (9 miles south-east).

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
