Bath repair at your home in Marley
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Marley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Marley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Do you need bath repair in Marley?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
