Bath chip & crack repair in Seaton, County Durham
Damaged bath in Seaton? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
About our bath repair in Seaton
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and chips caused by builders, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Seaton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Seaton
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Seaton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Seaton and the rest of County Durham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Seaton. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Seaton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
