Mardy: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

About our bath repair in Mardy
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Do you need bath repair in Mardy?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NP7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
