Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why Denby Common customers choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before booking
Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

What affects the price in Denby Common
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
