Bath repair in Darley Green without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Darley Green: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What about rust by the waste?
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.
Do you cover Darley Green?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Darley Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What we are called out for in Darley Green
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
