Bath Repair for Shildon homes
Bath repair in and around Shildon: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit

Bath repair in Shildon, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and holes from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shildon and across County Durham.

Do you need bath repair in Shildon?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
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.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
Most clients in Shildon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Shildon

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
