How we handle bath repair in St Mary in the Marsh

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlord and trade work in St Mary in the Marsh

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in St Mary in the Marsh

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for St Mary in the Marsh

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for St Mary in the Marsh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
