Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last

About our bath repair in Marlborough
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Marlborough. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
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 is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Marlborough: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SN8 postcode.

We work UK-wide, and that includes Marlborough. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

We do. We send a technician to Marlborough for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, 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. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace in Marlborough?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.
