Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Common problems we fix in Arclid
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Arclid: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Arclid included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What affects the price in Arclid
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CW11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Arclid, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
