Bath Repair in Marston Magna
Bath repair across Marston Magna and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marston Magna as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Marston Magna
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
FAQs for Marston Magna
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
