Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Marlbrook without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Marlbrook
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

- A steel bath rusted through

Landlord and trade work in Marlbrook
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
