About bath repair in DH6
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit.
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
What you’ll pay
Prices start 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.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Local landmarks in Bowburn
Around Bowburn, we work in homes near Bowburn Junior School and Christ the King and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Durham station, roughly 3.6 miles north-west. Further afield, we also cover the area around Sherburn Hospital (2 miles north) and County Durham (2.8 miles north-east).
How the damage happens
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Landlords, agents and businesses in DH6
For anyone letting property in or around DH6, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repair or replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
