About our bath repair in Marks Gate
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Marks Gate
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will 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 you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Marks Gate?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RM7 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Marks Gate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Marks Gate, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
