Bath repair at your home in Saltmarsh
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Saltmarsh
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you come to Saltmarsh?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Saltmarsh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Saltmarsh. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Saltmarsh and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Saltmarsh, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
