Bath repair in Darcy Lever, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Darcy Lever
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Darcy Lever. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode

Repair or replace in Darcy Lever?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Darcy Lever. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Darcy Lever clients choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Questions from Darcy Lever
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
