What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up. For a rural address like Marsh Green, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath repair, so there is no second trip.
- 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.
How to prepare

Advice
About our bath repair in Marsh Green
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Landlord and trade work in Marsh Green
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Replacement in Marsh Green means trades, travel and waste removal, while bath repair is one trip.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

When to call us in Marsh Green
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
If you let a flat or house near Whimple station (about 2.4 miles north), we repair baths between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Marsh Green: your questions answered
My house in Marsh Green is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Do you work for landlords with property near Whimple station?
Yes, we often work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How invisible is a bath 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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
