Repairs by material
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’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Marden's Hill
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Marden's Hill?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Marden's Hill?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marden's Hill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
