Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why Darley customers choose us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 is the part we put right.
FAQs for Darley
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your HG3 postcode.
Do you come to Darley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Darley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Common problems we fix in Darley
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
