Advice
Durley: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Other services in Durley
Landlord and trade work in Durley
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repairing versus replacing in Durley
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Durley. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Durley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Durley
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
