How we handle bath repair in Marcroes
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with chips under the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marcroes use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repairing versus replacing in Marcroes
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Marcroes
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Marcroes
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
