Bath repair at your home in Marton
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and chips along the edge of the bath.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Marton: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Marton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Marton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What affects the price in Marton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Marton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Marton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What else we do in Marton
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What we’re called out for in Marton
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we cannot put right

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Materials we work on in Marton
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
