Bath repair in Marton without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Marton: your questions answered
Do you come to Marton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Marton and the rest of Blackpool. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we’re called out for in Marton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What affects the price in Marton
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Marton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Marton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
