About our bath repair in Malkin's Bank
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Malkin's Bank
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Malkin's Bank
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Malkin's Bank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Malkin's Bank
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in Malkin's Bank
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
