About our bath repair in Darley Bridge
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips under the taps, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start 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 book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Darley Bridge: your questions answered
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you need bath repair in Darley Bridge?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Darley Bridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
