Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- 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
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Signs you need bath repair in Malborough
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Malborough questions
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you come to Malborough?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Malborough and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
