How we handle bath repair in Marsh Farm
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Marsh Farm as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Marsh Farm. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Marsh Farm: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in Marsh Farm?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Marsh Farm for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How much does bath repair cost in Marsh Farm?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Marsh Farm
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Common problems we fix in Marsh Farm
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
