Bath repair in Marley, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Marley
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Marley contact us are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marley
If you manage property in Marley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Marley: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
