Bath repair at your home in Marshborough

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we are called out for in Marshborough

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Marshborough

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Repair or replace in Marshborough?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. 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 will give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

Once we are 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 a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t 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 reply with a fixed price.
