About our bath repair in Nethermill
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We are often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Nethermill as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Nethermill
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DG1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common questions in Nethermill
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Signs you need bath repair in Nethermill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
