Bath chip & crack repair in Marton, Lincolnshire
Bath repair for Marton, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Bath repair in Marton without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and a chip where the taps sit, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Marton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Marton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Your questions about bath repair in Marton
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
