How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Marston Meysey

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marston Meysey use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we’re called out for in Marston Meysey

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Common questions in Marston Meysey

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Marston Meysey, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Marston Meysey?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Marston Meysey customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

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

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

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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