About our bath repair in Arborfield Garrison
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Arborfield Garrison as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Arborfield Garrison
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When to call us in Arborfield Garrison
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
