Bath repair at your home in Trimdon Grange
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
If you’re in Trimdon Grange and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- 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 pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Common questions in Trimdon Grange
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
