Repairing versus replacing in Marsh Benham
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Bath repair in Marsh Benham without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marsh Benham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Preparing for the visit

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Marsh Benham
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Marsh Benham
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
