Bath repair in Markethill without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Common questions in Markethill
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Markethill
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
