How we handle bath repair in Marple
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

FAQs for Marple
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Stockport. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t 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.
Advice
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. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Marple. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the whole UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Do you need bath repair in Marple?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
