Bath repair in Marholm

Bath repair in Marholm without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s chips under the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in Marholm?

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Common reasons people in Marholm contact us are:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Marholm questions

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlord and trade work in Marholm

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Marholm. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
