About our bath repair in Stocksfield
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we’re called out for in Stocksfield
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Stocksfield
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Stocksfield, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
