Bath repair near Marton

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace in Marton?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Questions from Marton

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in Marton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Marton and the rest of Shropshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Marton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Signs you need bath repair in Marton

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
