Signs you need bath repair in Marchwood
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders

How we handle bath repair in Marchwood
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and chips under the taps.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

More services for Marchwood
Landlords, agents and businesses in Marchwood
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repair or replace in Marchwood?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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 bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Your questions about bath repair in Marchwood
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Marchwood.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
