How we handle bath repair in Marehill

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marehill

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Marehill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What affects the price in Marehill

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Marehill. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Can I add another job to the visit?

Are there extra charges for Marehill?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When to call us in Marehill

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.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps
