About our bath repair in Lower Marlbrook
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Lower Marlbrook
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Lower Marlbrook included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
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.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What else we do in Lower Marlbrook
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Lower Marlbrook, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Marlbrook as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lower Marlbrook, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Lower Marlbrook
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
