How bath repair works in DL4
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What it costs in DL4

Around Shildon
We visit homes around St John's Church of England Aided Primary School, Greenfield Community College and The Grey Horse Public House. Also close by are Hackworth Park (within half a mile west) and Church of St John (less than half a mile north-west). There is a railway station in Shildon itself: Shildon station. Other landmarks nearby include Bishop Auckland Hospital (2.2 miles north-west) and Auckland Castle (2.7 miles north-west).
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Landlord and trade work in DL4
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in DL4 as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in DL4
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
