Marston questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the entire of Birmingham?
Everywhere in the UK, Marston included. Travel is included in the price.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Repair or replace in Marston?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Marston?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What affects the price in Marston
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Marston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Marston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
