What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath repair at your home in Darnhill
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Darnhill
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Darnhill. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Other services in Darnhill
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Darnhill
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Darnhill.
Do you cover the entire of Rochdale?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you need bath repair in Darnhill?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Darnhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A fixed quote before you book
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
