When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Bath repair at your home in Marchamley
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and chips under the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Marchamley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Marchamley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Marchamley
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, 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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Marchamley.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Marchamley, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Marchamley?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
