Questions from Marlingford
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Marlingford?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How we handle bath repair in Marlingford
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Marlingford clients choose us

What affects the price in Marlingford
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Common problems we fix in Marlingford
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
