About our bath repair in Arden
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repair or replace in Arden?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Arden: your questions answered
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will I be able to see the 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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What we’re called out for in Arden
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
