How we handle bath repair in Arbury
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust spots around the plughole.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Arbury and across Cambridgeshire.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Arbury
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What affects the price in Arbury
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Arbury
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Arbury questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Arbury?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
