- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Bath repair in Darnick without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rusty patches near the plughole, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Darnick and across the Scottish Borders.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Darnick questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Darnick and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Common problems we fix in Darnick
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
