DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 photos, as it can add time.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Common questions in Old Dailly
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Also in Old Dailly
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

Common problems we fix in Old Dailly
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
What affects the price in Old Dailly
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Old Dailly. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Repair or replace in Old Dailly?
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. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
