How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Repair or replace in Murston?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Murston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Murston

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What we are called out for in Murston

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
