Common questions in Stockton-on-Tees

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Stockton-on-Tees?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TS19 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stockton-on-Tees.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Bath repair in Stockton-on-Tees, 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. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Should you replace it?

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. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stockton-on-Tees. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Stockton-on-Tees

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
