How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Bath repair at your home in Marley Hill
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Signs you need bath repair in Marley Hill
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Marley Hill
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a repair better than a new one?

What else we do in Marley Hill
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 is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marley Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
