Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Repair or replace in Marsh Baldon?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
FAQs for Marsh Baldon
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
