How we handle bath repair in Marchington Woodlands

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We’re often asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Marchington Woodlands. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Take a look at our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Marchington Woodlands: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What we’re called out for in Marchington Woodlands

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
