DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Daubhill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we’re called out for in Daubhill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Daubhill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Daubhill
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Daubhill. Prices do not change with location.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Repair or replace in Daubhill?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Daubhill customers choose us

- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
