About our bath repair in Marsh Lane
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Marsh Lane and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need bath repair in Marsh Lane?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Landlords, agents and businesses in Marsh Lane
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Questions from Marsh Lane
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
