The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Arlesey. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Signs you need bath repair in Arlesey
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic

What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Arlesey
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the entire of Central Bedfordshire?
The whole UK, including all of Central Bedfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How much does bath repair cost in Arlesey?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
