About our bath repair in Maltby le Marsh
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Maltby le Marsh
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What happens on the day

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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 the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Common questions in Maltby le Marsh

What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
