Our bath repair service in TS8
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips on the rim or sides, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
What it costs in TS8

What’s near Hemlington
In Hemlington, that means homes near The Stainton Public House, The King's Academy and Viewley Hill Academy and the streets around them. Also close by are St. David's School (1.2 miles north), St Timothy (under half a mile north-west) and Stewart Park (1.8 miles north-east). For rail, the closest station is Marton station, about 2.1 miles north-east. A little further out are Castle Hill (4.3 miles south-east) and Carter Bequest Primary Care Hospital (2.2 miles north).
- Local facilities include Cleveland (2 miles east)
How the damage happens
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in TS8 and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
