Our bath repair service in TS18
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Pricing in TS18
Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landmarks near Newtown
Around Newtown, we work in homes near The Grangefield Academy, St Bede's Catholic Academy and Riverside Inn, among other places. Nearby too are The Grangefield Academy (0.8 miles west), St Paul (less than half a mile west) and Trinity Green (0.8 miles south). There’s a railway station in Newtown itself: Stockton station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Cleveland Centre (3.5 miles east) and University Hospital of North Tees (1.3 miles north-west). Not far away are RSPB Salthome.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How the damage happens
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Landlord and trade work in TS18
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Questions from TS18
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.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes TS18. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
