Bath repair across DL5: what to expect
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
What it costs in DL5
Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Around Newton Aycliffe
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to The Huntsman pub, Woodham Academy and St Clare and the streets around them. Nearby too are Woodham Burn Community Primary School (less than half a mile south-west) and Woodham Academy (0.7 miles north-east). For rail, the closest station is Newton Aycliffe station, roughly 0.9 miles south-west. A little further out are Bishop Auckland Hospital (4.7 miles north-west) and Auckland Castle (4.9 miles north-west).
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in DL5
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for DL5. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
Signs you need bath repair
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Common questions in DL5
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so DL5 is covered. Prices do not change with location.
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.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
