Bath Repair for Arthill homes
Damaged bath in Arthill? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Bath repair in Arthill, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Other services in Arthill
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need bath repair in Arthill?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath

Questions from Arthill
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Landlord and trade work in Arthill
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
