About bath repair in TS1
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
What you’ll pay
Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
How the damage happens
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Landlord and trade work in TS1
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Middlesbrough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Your questions about bath repair in TS1
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover TS1?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to TS1 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
