FAQs for Marston Moretaine
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Marston Moretaine?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
