Bath Repair in Marks Tey
We travel to Marks Tey for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath repair in Marks Tey without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repair or replace in Marks Tey?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before booking

Your questions about bath repair in Marks Tey
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Marks Tey, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marks Tey use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Marks Tey, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
