Your questions about bath repair in Darland
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Are there extra charges for Darland?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Bath repair in Darland, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wrexham.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

What we are called out for in Darland
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What else we do in Darland
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on

You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
