Bath repair in Marlpit Hill without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Marlpit Hill questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Marlpit Hill.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Marlpit Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Signs you need bath repair in Marlpit Hill
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in Marlpit Hill contact us are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
