What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Much Marcle. What changes the price is:

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Much Marcle get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath repair at your home in Much Marcle
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and holes from dropped items.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Much Marcle
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for Much Marcle?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When to call us in Much Marcle
