How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Bath repair at your home in Marshgate
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marshgate
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Marshgate
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
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.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

When to call us in Marshgate
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Marshgate. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
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.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 frequently lifts.
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.
