About our bath repair in High Marishes
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

FAQs for High Marishes
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Signs you need bath repair in High Marishes
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
