Trusted bath repair in Marston

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Bath repair at your home in Marston

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and chips under the taps, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Marston

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Marston?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Marston

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath repair in Marston

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for these signs:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
