What affects the price in Martin
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
When to call us in Martin
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Martin
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Martin, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
