Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

What your bath is made of matters

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

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

When to call us in Marston

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Chips caused by builders

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Marston. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace in Marston?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Marston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Marston

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Marston. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

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

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NG32 postcode.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
