Bath chip & crack repair in Tow Law, County Durham
Damaged bath in Tow Law? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
About our bath repair in Tow Law
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We are often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Tow Law
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are

When to call us in Tow Law
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Tow Law
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Tow Law included. Travel is included in the price.
How much does bath repair cost in Tow Law?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
