About bath repair in DH9
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. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and impact holes in acrylic.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for DH9. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What’s near Stanley
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to North Durham Academy, Roman Catholic Church of St Joseph and Tanfield School. Other local landmarks include Imperial Hotel (less than half a mile west) and East Stanley School (under half a mile north-east). The nearest railway station is Chester-Le-Street station, about 4.6 miles east. A little further out are Derwentside (2.7 miles west) and Chester Le Street Hospital (4.8 miles east).
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repairing versus replacing
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. A repair keeps it in place.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
Signs you need bath repair
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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
FAQs for DH9
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
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 photos.
