DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common problems we fix in Bidden
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
FAQs for Bidden
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover Bidden?
We do. Technicians travel to Bidden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What affects the price in Bidden
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Bidden and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
