- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Bath repair in Arradoul without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Arradoul
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Signs you need bath repair in Arradoul
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Arradoul. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
