DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath repair at your home in Todhills
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and damage beneath the taps, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Todhills
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Fixed prices from your photos

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Todhills. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Todhills questions
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
Across the UK, so Todhills is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
