Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Marston Bigot

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marston Bigot use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Marston Bigot. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Questions from Marston Bigot

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Marston Bigot, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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