Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath repair at your home in Membland
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

FAQs for Membland
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Membland. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
