Bath repair at your home in Marsh Common

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Marsh Common. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS35 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

If you manage property in Marsh Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Questions from Marsh Common

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

Which areas do you work in?

All of South Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Common problems we fix in Marsh Common

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Marsh Common

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
