Bath repair in Marton, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Marton questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Marton customers choose us

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Marton

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
