Bath Repair in South Marston
Our repair technicians come to South Marston for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Bath repair in South Marston, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in South Marston
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for South Marston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common problems we fix in South Marston
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

Questions from South Marston
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
