How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Marston, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your B76 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Marston questions

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Repair or replace in Marston?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need bath repair in Marston?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

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