About our bath repair in Martley

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Martley

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Worcestershire.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

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.

If you manage property in Martley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What we’re called out for in Martley

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WR6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
