About our bath repair in Bakers Arms
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is 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 whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Questions from Bakers Arms
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bakers Arms
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Bakers Arms
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bakers Arms, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Do you need bath repair in Bakers Arms?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
