About our bath repair in Martin
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rusty patches near the plughole.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
When to call us in Martin
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Martin. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Martin. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Martin, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
