Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Marton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What else we do in Marton
Common problems we fix in Marton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about bath repair in Marton
Do you cover Marton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Marton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach

- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
