Bath repair in Throston without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and rust spots around the plughole, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process
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 any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
FAQs for Throston
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Hartlepool. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.

Do you need bath repair in Throston?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
