- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
How we handle bath repair in Old Warden
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and chips caused by builders, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Old Warden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Old Warden, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Old Warden
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of Central Bedfordshire?
All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What else we do in Old Warden
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Signs you need bath repair in Old Warden
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.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for 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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
