Bath repair at your home in Arthingworth

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Signs you need bath repair in Arthingworth

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips under the taps
  • A chipped rim or side

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Arthingworth

  • Cast iron enamel

What affects the price in Arthingworth

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arthingworth

If you manage property in Arthingworth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arthingworth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Arthingworth customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Arthingworth

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.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Arthingworth included. Travel is included in the price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
