How we handle bath repair in Martin Dales
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Martin Dales. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Martin Dales, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Martin Dales
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When to call us in Martin Dales
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Questions from Martin Dales
How do I get a price for bath repair in Martin Dales?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LN10 postcode.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Martin Dales?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
